How do you refinish a fiberglass canoe?

The best way is to sand down the gelcoat finish back to the fibre glass. Mix up new gelcoat and spread over the fibreglass. You need to smooth off the gelcoat as even as possible to eliminate the need to sand down too much. If there are small patches left these can be filled in with a gelcoat mix and sanded down using wet and dry sandpaper.

On raw fibreglass, epoxy primer is necessary. On gelcoat, polyurathane paint sticks well, provided the surface is well sanded and cleaned with acetone, but pinholes and cratering can be a problem, so where a high standard is required, priming the gelcoat with epoxy is recommended.

How do you remove rust stains from fiberglass boats?

Try using CLR, but don't leave it on the gelcoat for too long as it will dull the surface. Otherwise, cut it back with 1200 grit wet & dry and buff it with compound. After cleaning and removing the rust ... use Zirlon clear top coat .. it will stop the rust and put the gloss back onto the gelcoat. It is an all green product that will last 3 to 5 yrs.

You can, although you aren't polishing the carbon fabric itself. Instead, you are polishing the gelcoat, paint, or epoxy matrix that's visible over the carbon fibers. Sanding or polishing through this topcoat can damage the fabric.
