Pretty sure you're along the right lines. I've complete faith in anything Frost Restorers stock, and that's what they've chosen:

I ran a POR15 kit through my NC30 a month ago and it did a great job. Just stick to the instructions like glue - especially the part about drying out the tank after cleaning it.
Lot of people recommend petseal, but it no-one would ship it overseas, but is worth a look if you are in the UK

I've used their marine clean before and it's pretty potent stuff. It should do the trick.
