What66, You need to use rubbing compound and elbow grease. After the finish is shiny (or you give up) wax it with a good marine polish.<br /><br />There are also "sealant" type products in marine stores. I have not used these, but they claim to be able to restore and keep the shine longer.

Wet sand. Start out with 600, work you way up to 1200, then polish with marine polish.
