Absolutely right- one does need to be careful, which is why I said it is an art. Gel coat is much tougher than clear coat on a car, however you still need to be cautious and take it slow. Some mask off a 2 x 2' area at a time. Also, the pros I hired did have smaller orbitals the were using in the tighter areas.
After getting such great results from these guys I have decided I am going to delegate any future oxidation removal and just do the waxing 2-3 times a year. Finding the right guys is the trick though- the first pro I hired was a very good auto detailer, however did not have experience with fiberglass and the oxidation was still there and I felt it was $400(same price) for a very good wax job. He detailed my SUV to make it right.
