How to make gelcoat on an old bass boat shine?

I am selling my 1990 bass boat this weekend. What is a quick way to make it really shine. I want to get the wet look on the gel coat. The shine doesn't have to last more than a couple of days. I don't have time to wet sand or wax it.

I have seen some other used boats that look like they have armor all or something on the gelcoat. It had just a slight oily residue, but it really made them shine. Any ideas would be appreciated.
