Yellowing of gelcoat is often caused by applying wax or polish over older polish or wax. To eliminate this you need to remove the wax before applying new wax, I use collinite hull cleaner to clean the hull at the end of each season and then wax in the fall. Also, come claim using a hard wax will make it yellow, but I have used treewax carnabba wax for 14 years without any yellowing at all. Hope this helps.
