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.

Dawn, or any other similar liquid dish soap, will strip that wax right
off (Which is why you're not supposed to wash a car with dish soap
unless you're planning to rewax).

Simple Green will do the job too, but it's a bit overkill.
