Depending on the level of oxidation, a multi-step involving wet sanding, liquid/paste compound and wax will probably bring the gelcoat back to life. Start with 800 grit wet sandpaper and progress to 1500 grit. Then a cleaner compound machine applied (I like Collonite 920) and then a good wax application. The magic is in the dedication to the project...it's a lot of work, but done correctly, the results will be rewarding.
