Maybe the answer is to have someone remove the oxidation and clean it. Then apply the decals myself. Then take it back to them to buff it out with RV/marine wax/polish.

The reason I asked is that the 2nd season I had mine the service manager said I had "slight oxidation" on the front cap of mine. I later learned that it was the pigmentation in the paint of the gelcoat if I remember correctly. They prepared it, painted it with I believe he said some sort of PPG automotive paint then clearcoated it - twice. It looks like new today (other than the bugs on it currently) and doesn't show one bit of a tendency to fade. I wouldn't think you would have to go that extreme to make it look nice.
