Thanks

Hello and welcome to Marine31 Online!
I would personally recommend using a Lake Country 6.5 inch Purple Foamed Wool pad for your project. This pad is aggressive enough to cut through the oxidation, but advanced enough in its design not to scour or haze the finish.
You can use this pad with either of our compounds (Heavy-Cut Oxidation Cleaner or Gloss & Color Restorer) or either of our AIO's (All-In-One Gel Coat Polish & Wax or Heavy-Cut Cleaner Wax).
Thanks to the direct drive, forced rotation of the FLEX XC3401, this tool is more than capable of removing light to moderate oxidation and staining.
For maximum protection and shine, I would follow up the AIO (all in one) with Marine 31 Gel Coat Carnauba Wax + Sealant. This product is well worth the extra step because it's going to add more shine and more importantly, better protection. I would apply this with a Lake Country BLUE Finessing Pad - 6.5 inches.
Foamed Wool 6.5 x 1 Thick Polishing / Buffing Pad
CCS 6.5 inch Blue Finessing Pad
Marine 31 Gel Coat Carnauba Wax + Sealant
