I typed a nice long reply, but it seemed liked the site timed out before I tried to post, and my reply got lost. Anyhow, try your plans above. If it doesn't last long enough, you may need to go with an acylic sealant. It's a coating that may need to be stripped if it yellows or peels and lasts about a year if stored outside, longer if protected from UV light.

I usually do a good wash, then compounding on my boats... the compound will take off the black scuffs and discoloration. I use collinite fleetwax on the hull after I finish.. it lasts forever and makes the boat look amazing.. im also going to try "woody wax" for the non-skid and deck areas of my boat this season and see how that comes out. good luck!
