On the bow there are some scuff marks from the bow roller stop. Would it be safe to clen them off with denatured alcohol then re-wax?

I'd trying the alcohol, naptha, laquer thinner or maybe even acetone before I'd resort to an abrasive. Any of those solvents on gel coat are safe.

Go buy a Magic Eraser, best thing ever for scuffs
