Javier,

I highly recommend, staying away from the Scotch Brite pad, or
sandpaper, unless of course your ready to refinish the top, in your
cleaning frenzy----

You will inevitably will remove whatever finish there is left  of the
jell-coat, and leave the surface of the poptop open,        (scratched)
causing you mucho grief----

If you want the grey out of the top---get ready------ rent, borrow an
electric buffer, along with some 3-M super heavy duty rubbing compound,
and buff the hell out of it, finishing it off with a couple coats of
premium wax.

This sounds like that this is going to be your only solution to removing
the oxidation.

Have Fun-----
