Default Oxidation Question....

I have heavy oxidation on the roof of my dark green 2000 Jetta and some one the trunk and a little on the hood. Top side of sun basically. I have a buffer and everything but can you just go out and get a normal buffing wax and buff it out that way ?

Trying to find the easiest way, thanks

Yeah, that's true. Oh well, I'll try me best to buff it with a polish and see what happens.
Thanks guys.
