and agree with Stephan don,t do it until absolutly
necessary.  Just roughing up the topsides would not get
rid of any wax build up causing the paint not to bind. 
I used Vim a mild comercial liquid cleaner to start
then 80 grit, 180 grit and after the primer 400grit
wet&dry this was done for each of the 3 coats I put on.
Don't do it if at all possible.
