Location: Elk River, Minnesota | If memory serves me well on what I have noticed on my outboard, what looks like oxidation is many times a build up of deposits from when water droplets dry, leaving what is like a scale that does not come off with washing. Given that what you have is this "scaling" so to speak, all of the products work mentioned previously will work just fine. But...if you want to save some money go buy a 1 gallon jug of white vinegar and mix it 50/50 with water. Spray it on, let it sit a little, then take a nylon brush to the area. With very little scrubbing, you will have a finish like new.
Now..if it is oxidation, what it will require is a little more work. Start with a good rubbing compound, then a polishing compound, and finally a good polish. Wax after you are done and you will be good to go.
