You need to get the damaged gelcoat off first. *Any decent polishing
compound and some elbow grease. *Follow with wax. If you keep it waxed
with a good wax that will reduce the future chalking.

The boat is already in the water. *What you suggest is good but the boat
needs to be on the hard to do a good job of it.

No it doesn't. Just run it in some shallow water and work on it.
