    pretty basic right there. If its white paint over white gel i would just wipe the entire area down with PPG's DX440 wax and grease remover than sand thoroughly with 320 on a DA. Wash down real well with a grey Scothcbrite and power washer. Let dry over night than dust on a coat of an adhesion promoter like Bulldog and go right to paint. If you have any primer spots or colored areas i would seal with PPG's DP-48LF epoxy sealer.
