There are alot ot tricks to getting that shine back, one trick I use is Vinegar, put it in a spray bottle and spray it on your boat and use a clean rag to clean it, it will take away that shodow look in the color areas, and it is great on the widshield most of that is caused by hard water, it may take some elbow grease but it does work. I then use the Maguire three step wash and wax it really helps, its time consuming as hell but it works and then thru the year it doesnt take as long to get it back up to its luster with just a quick wash and wax.
There are a few products on the market to clean your boat, one for the out drive to make it shiny and black again, but I think the main ingredient in it is just acid, it smells alot like lime away, so I have used lime away also, but be careful with that stuff on your clear coat, it will damage it. but it cleans the out drive up really nice. there are a few products you can find at marine dealers and outlets that will remove the oxidation and return your boat to the factory finish with just washing it, but use caution and wear rubber gloves most of it contains a weak acid but enough exposure to it will burn your skin.
Hope this helps you...
