I would like for by boat (bought last year) to look better...
I have tried several cleaning agents and can't seem to get it to shine like I want...Yes, I realize that it is 25 years old and won't look showroom new...

Is there anything to clean the dullness off and make it shine?
Could I re-gelcote the outside?? Brush on, not spray on.
I don't think the boat is worth sending it to a body shop...Plus, I would not want to spend the money that they would require to do this...
I do know that "cheap/inexpensive" should not be in the same sentence with "boat", but inexpensive would be wonderful.
Can I wax it or something??
