You don't find Spray Nine to be a little harsh? I've only ever used it as an engine degreaser! haha... but if it does the job, and doesn't hurt say, white vinyl, then why not, right??? haha

Edit: Also, interior protectors do not make the surface darker, it is simply supposed to bring it back to its original color. I personally use this for cleaning http://www.detailersdomain.com/1Z-ei...Kit_p_656.html , and this as a sealant http://www.detailersdomain.com/Wolfs...ant_p_708.html. Amazing products. I have seen boats 9 - 10 years old (the owner wipes own the interior regularly with 303) and it is faded badly. Spray nine and magic eraser are good for stuburn stains however I would not use it often as it will wear on your threads.

My biggest complaint with 303 is that it runs when used on exterior car trim when it rains. i can only imagine what kind of mess it would make on a boat.
You can also check out DetailingWorld.co.uk if you want to learn more about European brands. Those guys take their detailing very seriously.
I personally use 1Z on my interior if I'm going for a matte factory finish and I like Adam's Interior Conditioner for a more glossy look.
I bet Ultima's Tire and Trim Guard would really well on vinyl and all the rubber and plastic bits on a boat. That stuff really lasts.
I've always wondered how OptiCoat 2.0 would work on a boat hull. Oh, and I wonder how GTechniq's C4 would work on the plastic bits? I love both of these products on my cars.

I'd definitely use my Dewalt 849x with the wool pad to buff out a boat. I use it with a Dynabrade attachment to turn it into a dual action polisher on the cars. I actually prefer finishing down with my trusty old Porter Cable though. It's smaller, lighter, and easier to handle.
I have used GTechniq's C4 and it's excellent. It has lasted over a year on the car's trim with no signs of fading and repels water like OptiCoat. C4, C5, and C1 are all the same product and work like OptiCoat except they darken the trim more.
OC 2.0 on wheels is the best thing ever. It makes cleaning them incredibly easy.
