I've always used Soft Scrub - non bleach, non scented.
Works and not a lot of "elbow grease".

Which is still an abrasive and will not help your gelcoat.

Really?

Hmmmm - well, no.

Here's a image of the interior of the boat which gets all kinds of

We have a fiberglass bath/shower and it's cleaned with Soft Scrub all

It does work and work well.
