Boston Whaler and various gelcoat manufacturers both say never to use acetone on gelcoat. Use mineral spirits/paint thinner and a razor scraper to get adhesive residue off the hull.
The best boat wax you can buy is Collinite #925 pure boat wax. Use if after you have first glossed the hull with 3M Finesse-it II and wool bonnet. If you are not using Finesse-it, I recommend Collinite's Fleet Wax, which has a very mild cleaner in it. Apply either Collinite product with a terry cloth bonnet on your orbital buffer.
