I've used a fiberglass 'color restorer' cleaner & wax polish (3M?) that removes the oxidation. It takes 'Elbow Grease' too but even the West Marine version has kept our 'oldie moldie' boats looking like new (no oxidation). It has been wonderful when/if we get an older boat with oxidation, and it comes out looking like new. That's how I got our Monty dink back from the brink.
