Gold spot from autosmart is the kiddie and can be done in sunlight...apply and leave to dry then polish off....bingo! but if gel coat is dull prior to
polish you may need to attack it with a leccy polisher and cutting paste.
Light scratches can be taken down using fine grade wet n dry then cutting paste.
Cheers,
Mark

3 stage megs crystal for me brilliant finish
or super resin never does any harm
but add some wax afterwards and it will look cleaner for longer!!

TBH I'm not sure if it's ever been polished by the previous owner!!
Tried T-cut, Autoglym cuting compound and finish so far.

Polishing fibergalss
Leave the car stuff alone and find someone who sells Meguiars Mirror Glaze 45 boat/RV Polish. This is the stuff for gelcoat. My fibergalss boat sits
all winter outside and this brings it back. If the gelcoat is really bad, start with Meguiars Mirror Glaze 49 Heavy Duty Oxidation Remover, then
finish with Meguiars Flagship Premium Marine Wax.

A fan of Meguiars by any chance? 
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

If it's as good as Meguires metal polish it will be very good.
