Here you can read for hours.
I bought wax and oxidation remover this year. Best product I have ever purchased. I run on the DIRTY Missouri river and the dirt line wipes off after a day floating. I have also only waxed it once this year.

A "wax" is designed to protect (and sometimes clean) a surface. There are literally hundreds of "waxes" out there. Some are a pure wax, some have cleaners along with the wax, some have fillers along with a wax, etc.

The bottom line is that no single product is going to remove oxidation and / or dirt and then protect a surface. Forget the "we simply wiped this onto the hood of this junkyard dog and it now looks showroom new" stuff. It's all smoke and mirrors and generally doesn't work anywhere near as good as they say.

If you want a decent combination of the correct products, Meguiar's makes a Marine Oxidation Remover kit that pretty much gives you all of the products you'll need. Then again, if you have oxidation, you're going to wear yourself out trying to remove and restore things by hand. A good rotary buffer using the correct pad, product, pressure and speed will be needed. If it sounds like this stuff is a bit more difficult than it seems - it is.

If it has oxidation, you need use a buffer and compound first and remove the oxidation before you wax. Waxing over it is a waste of time and it will look hazy and come back in week or two.
