My old Corsa was red and had faded when I bought it. I found Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss brought it back up. Took a few coats of polish.

Ian I think I used Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Paint Renovator on my old Corsa (which was pink) and it made it go back to red. I'm sure there's probably better products out there.

Need a rotary to get it properly red, I would go with G3 as well for a quick fix.

I used Red T-cut on the red Combo at my old work and it went from nearly white to red again  I'm not saying it's the best way, but it will make it redder

can be done with elbow grease and some autoglym as said
Rotary polisher will give the best results if you can get hold of one from someone though. The difference once fad had attacked warrens gsi with one was massive
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

I used AG paint renovator followed by some AG super resin polish can be had very cheap and with some effort can be made fairly decent.
I had a rough astra and even with no experience bought the car back to a respectable shiny without the use of a machine...... not saying that was an easy task thought lol

A bit unnecessary/overkill if you ask me. Polish it first at least
