Probably not. You need to remove the oxidation first. Most the major companies including Starbrite make a "oxidation remover" for fiberglass boats. It works best with an orbital circular polisher machine, but you can do it my hand. Then follow up with a combination cleaner polish for fiberglass, and then a final coat of polish like NuFinish or a good wax if you prefer.

If it is really badly oxidized, you can use one of the acrylic coatings like PoliGlo or even a high gloss floor coating like ZEP. I have used them on my old, badly oxidized boat, and they give pretty good results.
