How do I refinish a fiberglass bathtub?

I have an older fiberglass bathtub/surround combo and the bottom surface is covered with micro cracking or crazing. The cracks are just large enough to pick up trace dirt and looks unclean. I hate to replace the tub, as much for the extensive labor in fitting a new one in as for the cost. Is there an overcoat that I can apply that will restore the original finish, or some method of buffing it out that won’t go beyond the outer layer and into the fiberglass? The problem is really limited to the bottom and up about 2 inches on the sides.
