I currently am working on a 1992 Crownline that has not been washed in at least 5 years they sad. Heavy oxidation and many scratches from the dock (found about 2 cases of beer cans so not surprised). I washed it using Megs Gold Class and then hit it with 105 on a Megs W400 wool pad on my Dewalt Rotary with fast results and it looked good. I then hit it with 205 using the rotary with Megs W800. I topped it off with Megs Boat Wax. It looked fantastic and then this morning I went to finish it and noticed the oxidation was back already. I thought maybe it was the shade or something when I originally buffed it so I went at it again with 205, no improvement and then with 105 followed by 205, no improvement again.

The customer is going to be ecstatic with it but I am not. Does anybody have any other ideas on this or do I just chalk it up as it is as good as it is going to get?
