    Paint thinner and elbow grease? But I'm just guessing.

    You can get a gelcoat polish from an online source or a boat supply shop.

    Mineral spirits are less aggressive than paint thinner. Best to try rubbing compound first I would say. If that works, then just lots of elbow grease and wax the area afterward.

    Oh, and adhesive caulking rather than silicone if that's your long term fix.
