Their is what I think is a plastic sort of skirt running along the bottom of the body of my Polensa and I wonder if it is possible to renovate it by spraying it but I don't know what with.  Can anyone make a suggestion?

Hi
  I presume the panel is glass fibre ,are you going to take the panel off or get it resprayed on the van ,how bad is it would in not just polish up with some T cut or similar or is the gel coat damaged If it is then it will need to be filled the whole panel rubbed down to remove any gloss and rimed with an etching primer to bond with the fibre glass Is it worth all the expense? as I notice you are having problems with the floor You could disguise any marks with some vinyl decals

If the gel coat is basically OK but just needs a good clean and polish, then I would suggest you look at the range of Marine/RV products from Meguiars:
