Paul,
I've used a product several seasons now with great results called
"Fiberglass Oxidation Remover & Color Restorer" made by Protect All. It
performs best when applied & polished by buffer. The 1st time I applied this
was by hand and it didn't turn out as good as when I used the buffer. Really
does a great job. Allow some time to do a thorough job and work the buffer
on edge to get the hard to reach areas.  I usually polish twice a year.
Water beads up, color looks good, no white-ish haze.
Their website is http://protectall.com/ProtectAll/  or 1.800.322.491
Usual disclaimers just a happy customer.
