Thor said without seeing it that it was probably oxidation. What do you guys think?

Ours is doing the same thing. I attribute it to oxidation. It is worse in some areas more so than others. The front gets hit by the sun from sunrise to mid afternoon and the side that gets the afternoon to sunset shows the "frame" lines. We had it detailed once and now have an area where they left the orbital in place for too long and burned the gel coat. We are considering having the front ceramic coated but are having the person look at it first. They do this to boats as well. I have tried all of the marine grade items by hand and with an orbital buffer and it just soaks it up. It looks great until it dries. The water beads off of it but it still looks like crap. We are about 15 minutes from the ocean so it is hot here and it isn't under a cover.
