Interior gel coat cleaning?

Last year when i bought used bought i noticed that the interior gel coat as dirty and not very bright. I tried everything that I know of to get it clean but nothing seems to work to bring it back. The boat only has about 40hrs, and almost all of that is the previous owner. From my experience the boat should not be as dull as it is on the inside. It has been covered when not in use and stored inside during the off season.

The area that is most affected is the textured floor. "Mr Clean Erasers" only seem to fall apart on this surface. The rest I have cleaned but the floor doesn't want to come clean. Is there such a thing as a magic bullet for this.

I'm not afraid of some elbow grease but that only goes so far.

Mary Kate non-skid cleaner and a boat brush. Brush it on, let it sit, then rinse. Don't need a lot of elbow grease

I have fiberglass self-bailing decks. I blast everything in sight with a 3000 psi pressure washer with a 30 degree flat, wide nozzle. Does no damage and makes everything look brand new.
