Does anyone know of a product I can use to remove overspray on a boat without damaging the gel? Any suggestions would be helpful, Thanks! :)

easy off oven cleaner. Just be careful. Don't let it sit too long. Spray a little give it a couple of seconds and wipe it off. If it doesn't get the overspray do it again and let it sit a little longer. Keep doing this until you figure out how long it takes to get the overspray.

3M Finesse-it II......then just machine buff back to new, makes sure you use a polishing pad on the buffer not a compounding pad, or you could hand polish it too.

Any MILD compound on a terrycloth towel will work...remember to rewax when done

I'll second this. Detailers clay is what I have found to work best for removing overspray.

Goof Off 2 is a water-based dried latex paint remover. Designed for those who are sensitive to the odor of the original Goof Off and for use in odor-sensitive locations such as offices, restaurants, hospitals, schools, nursing homes etc.
Goof Off 2 is less aggressive than the original Goof Off but is effective in removing dried latex paint, grease, oil, tar, ink, markers and scuff marks. Also great for removing paint from clothes, deglossing painted surfaces, preparing surfaces prior to painting, and removing paint overspray from automotive finishes.

Rubbing alcohol on a terry rag. What is it. .69 cents a pint?
Then wax.

If I get overspray after airbrushing on a boat, lacquer thinner removes it every time without ever damaging gelcoat.

Hey I have a body shop in the lower OC. Depending on what type of spray it is, usually reducer eliminates it very easily. Reducer is a product that is added to basecoat(color of car paint, not clear coat) that thins the basecoat. You can buy it at any body shop supply company, usually called a jobber. Use very sparingly little goes a long way. If you don't have a gel coat use very little.
