Victory Over Oxidation!!

Some of y'all have heard me whining about the oxidation on my 5th wheel. The Texas sun and Gulf Coast humidity combine to cook the filon to an ugly flat gray chalky surface. I've had great recommendations from folks here and I've tried some. I've been doing battle for at least 3 years.
But I believe I found the answer. A Porter Cable random orbit buffer, wool pad (twisted yarn, not the straight fine wool) and 3M Marine Restorer and Wax. I have gone over the 3M with Klasse All in One. The Klasse removes the little smudges and hopefully extends the protection life.
It certainly is not a fast process, and I have 1 section of a sidewall left to do, but I think I found the answer for me.
My shoulders are about to fall off, I get leg cramps, my beer intake went up, but I'm happy.
