I have used this on several faded cars. It improves the shine about 300%. Don't be confused, nothing will make it shine like new paint.
I had a pickup that had sat under a tree for a couple years to add to the oxidation headache. The scratch out stuff did OK (just a KIT Wax version of the 3M stuff) but ran out and used some of the wifes dollar store miracle pumice paste junk from the kitchen that worked just as good...
A good (not necessarily expensive) wax afterwards is your money maker.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
