Be careful if using acetone, I use it to clean set resin of my fiberglass laminating roller, it works very well!
But then a chap in the states told me you can use a little on a cloth to buff GRP (I have not given that a try yet)

Thanks chaps, will try thinners see if that works, did try white spirit, meths, rubbing compound, polish and T cut, none worked though, just seemed to make it worse!

Acetone is also safe and can be effective on some types of paint

Don't use nitromors on gelcoat as it messes it up, strippit or dilunet are safe on grp/gelcoat, for small bits thinners may do the job.
