Hi Peter,
you can start with auto body rubbing compound. this comes in various

grades
of roughness but medium should be fine. The gel coat will come up quite
nicely with this. If its not shiny enough for you, then polish with T-cut
or similar after. I personally use Mcguires machine glaze for a deep

gloss
wet-look.

The sun has given my fibreglass top a white bloom. If I buff an area

very
heavily with a mechanical polisher and T-Cut and then polish it comes up
nicely. Trouble is, it's taking far too long as the gel coat seems to be
much harder than the paint finishes that the T-cut and polish are meant
for.
Anyone know of better products / methods to get the shine back more
quickly?
TIA, Pete.
