Just done a full cut and polish of all the glossy areas.
Now wondering about the non-slip areas - for example the foredeck area.
This has the non-slip gelcoat finish. It is clean but may be a bit oxidised.
What is the best way to treat and finish that area?

When I get the black small dirt dots in the non skid I use magic eraser and used some cheap walmart rubbing compound. I'm finding I need better or best rubbing compound and a re-wax. Spray on non skid seems like the worst to keep clean.

I simply use the same cut & polish on the non-skid, but use a woolen pad.
Try avoid waxing it, as you want it to remain non-skid! :P

Looks like an old thread but I started using starbrite deck cleaner. It does a great job of pulling the dirt and mold. It starts out not looking like its going to work but then the sun comes out and it whitens right up in like an hour. Easy to use, I scrub with a deck brush and rinse off. Its not perfect for the really hard grease stains or bicycle tire stains but for the most part works great for the weekly washing.
Also, don't need to use much. I spray the brush a couple times and it lasts for a big section. Doesn't leave a slippery deck either like boat wax.

I also Use the starbrite non skid cleaner. I follow the instructions, I allow The product to sit maybe 3 minutes, then scrub again. Always looks great. Afterward, I use Woody wax and it seems to keep it clean longer
