John,

Suggest you try Goo Gone before anything else. It's amazing what that stuff
will soften. Follow with some fiberglass polish and a buffer.

Good luck.

Now that's an offer. You previously offered to take JohnH out on your
boat & he declined...it'll be interesting to see if he takes you up on
this.


Got one. I'se just hopin' there was an *easy* way.

Good old kerosene would probably work also....it will also strip the wax so
you would have to touch it up afterwards.

I wonder if mineral spirits would work, without messing up the gel coat?

I would not think mineral spirits or kerosene would mess up the gelcoat. If
you get into something with a high solvent content like acetone it would
definitely soften up the gelcoat.

Well, maybe this won't be as much work as I feared. If I can spray and wipe with
the mineral spirits, that would be much easier than breaking out the
buffer/polisher.

Heck WD40 might also work.
