Depends on what condition the gelcoat is in. Sometimes you can wash it clean if in really great shape all the way to needing a special kind of acid to disolve the crud attached to it.

If polishing you'll need a wool pad and some good product. And there's no section of the paint you can treat as automotive paint. Gel coat or aluminum paint are both different from Automotive paint.

Get products specifically designed for marine use.
