It's an arse I believe, hence people don't like it if they dry stack/trailer.

I'd suggest a sander and hours of patience, then a new gel coat. but ask someone more in the know. There may be a chemical.

Ah well if you know what combination of yellow & black you'll know which side to come from
BTW are you not speaking to me or have you not looked at your post box?

Interstrip....v tedious or soda crystal blasting. Bit like grit blasting but far less damaging to the gel coat.
