Faded fibre glass/ Any suggestions

I have just bought a small fibre glass boat but the hull is faded and wanted any suggestions on how to clean it up. I dont expect it to be like new but just wanted to remove the stains on the fibreglass and shine it up a little.

Cheers

if you get some 1200 or 1600 wet and dry and a sanding block and lighly sand back the gel coat making sure it is even then wash the boat and polish using a polish recommended for after cutting back it will come up a treat! you will probably need to polish it again in about three months too! if you want to no the exact polish pm me and i will send you the details when i get home! i have done this with a few boats and it works a treat!

good coat of vaseline rubbed into the fibre glass also does it a treat really shines it up and puts like a wax coating on the fibre glass.
