cigarette burn on gelcoat?

Try compounding or wet sand depending on how deep the damage is.

will that completely dull the gel coat finish? (wet sand)

start with compound like 3m or even Flitz...wet sanding should be your last resort and then compound/polish after wet sanding to bring back the shine

gell coat repair

if it has burned a hole down to the fiberglass you can get a batch of gel coat that is a perfect match to your hull from any grady dealer just give them your hull id number it costs about $25 i did it last season
