I typically wipe my Kevlar Sundowner down with Maxiglide SPF 50 Wax after use.
The inside of the boat is faded and very dry in spots.
People typically stay away from treating the inside of the boat as to not make it slippery during use, yet I would like to breathe a little life back into the inside of the boat.
What have you guys used?

If it were mine I’d sand the interior with 220 and then lay down a layer of Uv resistant epoxy. While still wet lay a single layer of chemically treated peel ply. Peel it off when dry and you’ll have a very grippy surface. Not a job for the newbie.
Alternatively 220 and mix some skid text in UV resistant epoxy. Finer grit the better.

An alternative which you might find easier is to 1; clean it well with soap and water,
2; let it dry thoroughly, 3; wipe it down with acetone - use rubber gloves for that and don't let the acetone puddle up, and 4; wipe on a thinned coat of a good spar varnish or urethane has good UV filter in the mix. I've had good luck with Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane.

That's what the old Bell web site recommended for refreshing the interior. I did that on my magic and it came out real nice.
