I've also got a '67 Reveler, the exterior finish was severly faded. Tried all kinds of wax but to no avail. The best thing I found was a product called Perfected II or Perfected III. You can get it at body shop supply stores. It's made by 3M, the 3M # is 06060. When applying it use only a foam pad on a orbital buffer, no wool pads. It will really help bring the old finish back.

Unfortunately I haven't found any silver bullets. I have exhaust carbon on my stern drive and stern I can't clean off, but like you say, it seems like there should be something that will get it off out there. Boat US did a big run-down on a bunch of hull cleaners in their last issue, but I haven't had time to read it yet. Maybe there'll be some insight in there else maybe someone else on the list has had luck.
