The surface is smooth, However, if the hydroturf doesn't come up clean, don't use anything that can gouge the decking, get a 3M type eraser wheel https://www.amazon.com/3M-Stripe-Wh...07234&sr=8-1&keywords=3M(TM)+Stripe+Off+Wheel, and it will take the remainder off.

I'm getting ready to do the same, the hatch cover was the only part that didn't come up easy and in one piece.

Someone else suggested if it was really cold before you pulled it, it came off easier. (Only useful for the next pull) At this stage, I can also offer my endorsement for the the eraser wheel. It will make this job much easier. (or Less painful, depending on how you measure, It's still a bear, but the wheel makes it much easier.)

Amazon is delivering an eraser wheel to my house this afternoon. Also, it was about 28 degrees when I removed the hydroturf, so I was hoping for all the mats to come off as easy as the lower deck and sides.

The Eraser Wheel is def the way to go, mineral spirits and patients. I did mine last week and agree that its easier to get off in colder temps.

I used a pressure washer to finish off the adhesive, but it was still a long messy job. I love the finished product but wouldn't do it again.
