This looks promising as several have said it is a mold release problem. Mold release is what is sprayed in the hull mold before the gelcoat - hull is made so it releases from the mold easily without pulling off gelcoat.

This product was developed for David Marlow, Chairman of Marlow Yachts, to reduce the VOC emissions and the employee exposure of the MEK-based solvents used to remove the multiple coats of mold release wax from the new boat hulls, decks and other molded parts. The results from the first run sample were excellent. The product report from Marlow Yachts has the stripper outperforming the harsh chemicals, giving nearly twice the square footage coverage and for less money. Certainly a triple win!
The Marine and Mold Release Wax Stripper is non-toxic. ALSO, it is thixotropic and trigger sprayable. The product will not drip down when sprayed onto the vertical surfaces of the boats allowing for a very visible and managed removal of the wax.
This Marine and Mold-Release Wax Stripper is an excellent product for the boat paint shops. For proper adhesion of new paint, all wax must be removed from not only the surface but also deep in the pores of gelcoat.
In the same boat repair arena, several prominent detailing organizations have found that by applying the Marine Wax Stripper before compounding a boat, “swirls” were eliminated. Swirls are the result of old, embedded into the gelcoat wax that when softened from the heat of the high speed buffing pad smears across the surface. The detailers have stated the finished surface is superior and is done much quicker by eliminating the “swirl chase”.
Application
Shake Product Well
Spray onto surface
Agitate lightly with a scrubee pad getting the stripper into the porous surface to soften the embedded wax. Let sit for a few minutes.
Remove stripper and softened wax with terry cloth towel. Also, a pressure washer can be used to remove the softened wax.
I may try a few of these in small areas... I'll post the results.
