I'm after some info on getting my old fibreglass boat looking new again, if possible. It's green on top with a white under and the glass is not too bad condition. I've polished it a couple of times which makes it look ok but was wondering if theres a technique out there which gets the glass like new again, (whithout recoating).

Try a cutting compound then repolish. Test a small bit first. There are some acid based fibreglass cleaners but I have never used them

Second Horse's advice. I re-did the topsides of a 34' sailboat by hand with cutting compound 4"X6" inches at a time. (More time than money.) Looked like new but you can go through the gel coat. I didn't dare try it with a polisher.
