You have a couple better choices...


If it's *really* oxidized, use Dupont Polishing Compound.  It's much
less abrasive that the rubbing compound.  (Green can) or, if it's just
'oxidized', use one of the deep cleaning car waxes.  I use Turtle Wax's
and a low speed buffer/polisher.  Makes it look like new.
