Removing oxidation from Filon siding

Just bought a used 2008 Keystone Sydney TT, 31' long. The outside is very oxidized and needs a thorough cleaning. I believe the siding is Filon FRP, not gel-coat fiberglass. Is there a best way and product to remove the oxidation before applying polish and wax?? Thanks in advance for your responses!

If that's a rough finish you may not be able to do much as you can't get between the fibers to polish it.
Maybe try the wax trick that people use on the gel coat? Don't really know how that works since I've had full body paint since '02.

Try a little TR-3 in an evening inconspicuous spot. Did wonders on a 20 yo Honda for me.

I just read around 100+ reviews on TR-3 on Amazon. 80-90% were positive (4 or 5 star) with many rave reviews. So, thanks to you both for the feedback, I'm going to give the TR-3 a shot!!
