Restoring vintage trailer finish

I've owned my 1960 Lincoln Mobile for approx. 33 years. I've started restoring it again. The finish needs to be brought back to life. I've TSP cleaned it and tried rubbing compound and turtle wax, but It still is not like it was 33 years ago. I even tried diluted muratic acid years ago, but it did nothing. What can I use to clean and shine it? There are rust marks around the clutch screws also.
I added pictures of the trailer and the 50 year old toilet I just removed. Had to cut it out of the floor. Notice the small holding tank. The porcelin toilet is in good shape, the water regulator is shot. Anyone have a spare. haha I would love to re-use the bowl, just have to figure how to use the water hook up for it and another holding tank.
