Sandpaper and your favorite finish.  You can tell when you get down to the fiberglass.  I wouldn't go any rougher than about 150 grit over the glass.

220 grit paper and any good poly finish or tru-oil will be good.

Try to get a finish that can be easily touched up, and is durable. Also, a good paste wax rubbed on after.
