I have used 400, 600, and 800 grit to remove highly oxidized gel coat and stained gelcoat, then used the buffing wheel and compound to remove the sand paper marks. On my older MH the caps have maybe .020 of gelcoat but the sides are much thinner, so you don't want to burn through with the wheel. To me sanding is safer because its by hand and you can see and feel what you are doing. I would try dry sanding if the wet sanding does not take enough off.
