I have recently acquired 1987 24' Fibreglass boat. The hull is primarily
white with maroon accents. Whereas the white hull is in good condition and
pleasing to the eye, the maroon colour accent stripes appear to be badly
oxidized and generally detract from the appearance of the boat.

We are interested to know what product(s) available in Canada are
suitable/successful for removing oxidation and restoring the colour as much
as possible. In fact, is this even practical?

It's almost impossible to bring oxidized paint back for any length of
time. You can polish and wax it but it'll start oxidizing again very
quickly, especially if you're exposing it to a lot of sun.

You're better off sanding, taping and repainting IMO.
