Shining her up!
This lazy daze had some serious oxidation/fading around the lower half of the rig, a little meguires oxidation remover and I swear the RV looks 10 years newer!

Yeah it’s amazing how well the paint comes back. Your LD looks really nice! My 2002 shines up really nice too. I found the compartment doors seem to oxidize the fastest. I used a clay bar on them and now they match the body paint perfect.

“I'd sure enjoy a pic or two of your LD.  It's always a treat since we seldom see other LD's in this part of the world.“

Mine had the same issues and I just used turtle wax. I was happy with the results but after seeing yours I think I'll buy some meguires and see if I can get it even better. The rear end of mine has the most sun damage and maybe this stuff will bring it back to life

I tried Meguiar's "oxydation remover" on a couple rear sun-faded panels of my green 2003; it did remove some oxidation, but was very difficult to wipe off. It streaked, looked "patchy", and did nothing to restore the finish. Power-buffing might produce a better result?

YMMV, of course.

While I’m usually pretty skeptical of these snake oil “oxidation/scratch” removers I must say the results with the blue bottle meguires RV oxidation remover is nothing short of incredible. The panels on my RV where literally faded to a dull matte finish and they now match the gloss on the AL side paneling.   I do warn that this stuff seems fairly aggressive as I achieved these results with no more than an applicator pad and a dry towel, wipe it on real good and then it wipes off extraordinarily easy and Boom the paint is transformed.

I would avoid using a powered buffing implement as my results came so quickly by hand, I would guess you would swirl the finish and put some serious hieroglyphs in your paint with a buffer.
