wet sand it with 1000 grit, then again with 2000 grit sandpaper. not too much, just scuff it up/try to rid it of big imperfections. then spray it with a UV protectant clear. rattle can stuff from autozone actually works pretty good, if you know how to use it. try to use a spray gun though, it will make the work look 100 times better.
