Default Faded paint

So my paint is faded in two areas. It was red and now looks pink. Any ideas how to get it back to normal looking without having to paint it?

use an orbital buffer....first use a compound with a higher grit level -it will almost smear all the paint together, creating a clearer color...then use a high polishing compund to buff out dull spots and restore some shine...

worked wonders on my buddies old F150...id do it to my car, but im too lzay

I did that before and it made it worse. It actually made it look more pink, diddnt use polish though.
