Get a scotch kitchen pad and some bar keepers friend or bon ami. Scrub off the old oxidation. If the surface is still white, you are in luck. Prepare the entire surface, then apply several light coats of Zep acrylic floor finish. You should end up with a decent shiny finish that will last for years with minimal upkeep.
You will be able to find many threads on this approach. As a quick summary:
You need to be careful about surface prep. Remove all oxidation, dirt and old waxes. If not the finish is likely to flake over time.
The Zep finish will not start out as shiny as a carefully done wax job, but it will last for a very long time. My original Zep finish is now about 7-8 years old and still looks great. Every year or so, I wash and then apply another very thin coat to renew the gloss.
There are several versions of Zep acrylic floor finish. Any will work but the "wet" look version will have the highest gloss.
