Removing oxidation from fiberglass boat

I have a fiberglass boat approximately 6 years old. It is docked such that the aft end of the boat is in the sun at all times and it is oxidized very bad. What is the best method of removing the oxidation?

As for your boat Starbrite fiberglass restorer should do the trick. I have a 35 year old glass boat with really heavy oxidation , the only way I can get any results is with heavy duty rubbing compound ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] and a commercial buffer. Did you happen to get any responses that might help me?
