Sheer stripe love

Spent many hours of hard labor this past weekend shining the sheer stripe. The previous owner told me he used Poli-glo each season. This is some type of polymer that ends up clouding up, leaving the stripe looking horrible. I really didn't want to use the stuff, so held off doing anything. This past weekend I decided to try my 1000 grit and 2000 grit sandpaper, lightly (carefully) hand sanding the stripe. Then using a polishing wax to finish things up. Turned out pretty good. I am hoping if I am diligent with waxing I can keep it nice.

Do you think this will prevent it from getting oxidized super quickly? It seems like on my boat, and others I know of, the cove/boot stripes go dull quite quickly. Not sure if they just aren't getting buffed deep enough to get rid of the oxidization or what.
