When it comes to applying solutions we have the RoadMaster Voom Gold Auto and Marine Polish # RM-9940 but this is more for making your roof shine, not necessarily fixing damage. I took a look at the Dicor coating you mentioned and it looked like some of the reviews said that it didn't work well for the hairline cracks that you mentioned.

Your best option would be to add a LaSalle Bristol XTRM Roof Membrane. This basically sits on top of your roof and becomes your new "roof". The material is compatible with your fiberglass roof and is installed with the kit # 3442703414KIT. You can choose from the following lengths to best fit your application:

21' - # 3441700534142711421
25' - # 3441700534142711425
30' - # 3441700534142711430
35' - # 3441700534142711435
40' - # 3441700534142711440

This is not as cost-effective as the Dicor coating but it is your best option as the XTRM Roof Membrane requires no maintenance and it comes with a 15-year warrant.
