    They are both well known in the market place so they should do the job and as you got them free how about you show us a before and after shot :) If your worried about them try them on a small out of the way bit first.
    I find you can get very good fiberglass cleaners from most motor factors for a few quid less than anything that has the word "BOAT" on it :D

    It would depend on how bad your gelcoat is as to what grit T-cut to get, I like G3 compound and then any car wax will bring up a good finish, WD40 is also good for cleaning rust stains. :)

    I find the turtle wax: polish/wax to be very good.

    If your gelcoat is very clean don't use any rubbing compounds as you will end up making more work for yourself just stick with the wax.
