Default Bad Oxidation

Anyone know how to get rid of really bad Oxidation? I live at 8,000 feet & both doors plus some of the hatch are almost white. I've used rubbing compound & TR3 Resin glaze. The TR3 seems to work kinda, but it'll take me a year to get it to look good. I've managed to make a 1 sq ft section look good if I'm careful not to take it to the metal, but it's alot of work. I need to do this in a hurry so I can get a coat of wax on it before the dun kills it worse. Any other suggestions?

Baking soda in water or a Coke... I don't think you will have to go to the extreme like using Coke but if you do... its really strong stuff. Got my alternator on my baja looking brand spankin new again

Edit : That is, if we are talking about the same thing here....

If it's really bad get the car painted and keep it waxed.

If I could afford to get it painted, I wouldn't waste my time trying everything else.

Just spent my last 50 cents on a new used engine.
