Question Car polish or any products to help with faded paint

I'm looking for any recommendations for helping with faded paint on my car which I want to get looking a bit better before I sell. I haven't polished it in 7months of ownership or even hand washed it as it's my 2nd car/runaround and 15 years old

It's red which I understand is one of the worst colours for getting that faded look but need to make it appear better without spending a small fortune.

Any ideas? A simple polish that will help or such like

The paint renovator may be a bit over the top, it is quite abbrasive. I'd probably try the Autoglym Super Resin Polish first, this may clear up the oxidation on its own. Even if you do need the paint renovator follow up with some SRP to protect the paint and help remove any fine scratches.

a Medium strength Swissol cleaner fluid will re hydrate paint ! I have restored a tired looking "pink" MR2 roadster & it looked showroom red by the time I had finished !

Always real with a good quality wax !
