I am going to be waxing my hull during haul out in August and I am interested in any one's experience with non-abrasive methods of removing old wax from the hull. I know that I can use polish and or very fine (like 2000 grit) wet sanding to do this but I was hoping for a method that would not remove any gelcoat. Thanks in advance for any insights or replies.

I think Steve means PoliPrep
It will easily remove any residue wax that UV hasn't already taken care of. Wax generally only lasts 3-4 months before the sunlight degrades it.

I wax after every sail
that got your attention, didn't it!? I use a hose attachment that sprays wax as I hose down the boat (it's made for car waxing, but the boat doesn't know the difference). That way I keep the hull coated and protected. I haven't seen any downside -- as far as I can tell.
