Restoring the look of my boat

Hey guys, I just took all of the original stickers off of my boat (they had been there a while) and I am trying to figure out the best way to make the boat look good again. I was able to get all of the goo/crap off with goo-gone but the color is faded where the original stickers were and vice-versa. Do you think wax/polish/buffing would do the trick? I really just want to make the entire boat look better...not just the areas where I took the stickers and designs off. Can you recommend any products that you use? Any help is appreciated
