Restoring Hatteras 50 from the '80s – Treatments to remove stains without damaging th

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 1980s Hatteras 50 that has been left in the water for two years. I’d like to make it shine like it once did, and I’m looking for advice on how to treat the stains and spots that have developed, without damaging the boat.
I’d really appreciate it if you could recommend specific cleaning and care products, preferably international ones, as I’m based in Europe and would like to be able to find them here as well.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

I've never had any great luck in getting the results that professional detailers do on cars or boats. I can get it maybe 70% of the way there if I'm lucky and I basically devote half my life to it. There really is an element of black art to that stuff. IMHO find your local marine detailer with the most stars on google and let them take a crack at it. My $.02 anyway.
