Default Boat wax recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a company to detail/wax a boat in the Pasadena, MD area? I have some oxidation above the rub rail which I'm hoping a professional company could fix. I put two coats of wax on her the beginning of the last season, another coat half way through the season and a week or two later it looked like I never waxed her. Hoping someone can bring her back to life. Is this something companies will guarentee that it will look good for more then a few weeks?

Thanks,
Brad

I know it says "yachts" but they do lots of smaller boats and their crews are excellent. Prices are fair also.

Buff and wax with a teflon wax helps hold the shine longer

Try using Meguiars #49 oxidation remover,if its real bad move up to #67 polishing compound. Then follow up with Meguiars Premium Fleet wax to protect it.
If you have a dual action polisher or rotary buffer,it makes the job easier.
Just remember,dont let the polish dry out while buffing,it must be removed while still wet.
When you get it to look good with the polish,put 2 coats of wax on it,let dry and hand buff with a microfiber towel.
