I used bars keeper friend to remove lots of oxidation. Then follow with a good wax. It worked pretty good. You will never get that full shine again. You will still have to keep doing this year after year unless you wax it every 3 months or so. Mine is 12 years old and one side always in the sun it fights me every year. The other side is always shaded and still has all its graphics but had to remove all faded and cracked graphics from front driver side and rear and fight oxidation all the time.
^^How did you use the Barkeepers Friend? By hand with damp cloth, or with a random orbit? What kind of pad?
I have used this method with Bar Keepers Friend only. Long tedious work but only needed to do the front cap. I used a 3M Scotch Brite pad. They have several grades. Some of them are non-scratch. You must be sure you have all the residual off. Followed by Meguiers Flagship Marine Polish and dual action buffer. 3M also makes a good Marine wax.
