Default Gel coat removal - water sanding vs. straight line sanding

I'm probably not going to like the answer... I'm very glad that the
gelcoat on my mistress is in great shape.


I can't imagine a reason to remove all of the gelcoat off of anything. In
refinishing, you get down as deep as needed in problem areas and then build
it back up, scuff up the rest, and shoot a new thin even coat on the whole
thing, and be done with it. Thin is the key; don't put on more than you
took off.
