The oxidation on the GRP gelcoat is probably causing a generally dull, almost matt appearance. You can try polishing with a car polish but results are often less than perfect and may not last long. On our 2009 Compass I used Farecla G3, a compound used extensively to polish boats and other fibreglass vehicles.
A word of warning though, only use on the GRP panel, not the painted aluminium as the paint is too thin. It can be applied by hand (OK if you don't mind a bit of elbow grease) or machine, but the results are outstanding and long lasting.
