Get in touch with TnT and he will let ya know the best stuff cause he done a fantastic job on his boat. Heck his boat looked new when he got thru with his.

i clean the water line stain with WHINX. it is used to take stains out of clothes .was in a brown bottle but have changed it can`t remember to what .you have to spray it on and the stain will disappear

On my boat, I used rubbing compound and elbow grease to remove the oxidation. A good buffer would probably be a plus...Then I cleaned it real good to remove all of the rubbing compound. There was still some oxidation left so I took a sander to it and removed the gelcoat down to the paint..In some places I went too far(I'm sure this wasn't the professional way to do it, but it got the job done for me...Heck, it's just a fishing boat:D)..I cleaned it real good again and then I put about 10 coats of Poli-Glow Boat Polish on it. It turned out real good but time will tell how long it will last. The directions said to re-apply 2-3 coats every year. Here are some before and after pics of the finish before the seats and accessories were put back in it::

I stripped this boat down and put in new seats and carpet...Here are the pics when it was "Water Ready":
