Default Stripping Wax


What is the best way to strip wax off the cap on my boat with out damaging
my gel coat. I have a very very nice finish and I don't want to turn it
milky by using an abrasive on it. A cleanser of some kind that will strip
the wax, but not put micro scratches in the finish is what I have in mind.
Then I'll re-wax and buff out.

Any automotive paint supply store has a product that will do this. They call it wax and grease remover. It is used to remove any surface contaminates before painting. Just wipe it on with one rag, and wipe it off with a clean dry rag. This will not hurt the gelcoat. You can then re-wax or polish the gelcoat. Sometimes if you use a polish and then wax, you will get a much better shine.
