Before using sandpaper I suggest you go to West Marine and check out a compound to remove oxidation. It should turn to white and then you buff it as others have written. That should remove the oxidation or dull coating on the boat. Then after you see a nice shine use a boat wax.

Try a small section with the compound to see if it works before you consider sanding. You need to be real careful when you start sanding the gelcoat on your boat. I have been able in the past to restore some weathered boats with compound.
