Default Faded paint? Need input on what steps I should take to doctor up

So the paint on a car I have bought is somewhat faded, foggy, oxidized? in some areas. Im not sure what may have caused this but I would like to try and fix it up a little until I get the car painted next summer after all the work is done to it.

Got a pic below that sums up the situation pretty much. You can see the rear passenger side quarter panel is fine but the hatch is faded, the rear driver side quarter panel, and roof is somewhat faded too even though they arent in the pic.

I am hoping for a few opinions based on your guys experience on which foot to start off on with this.

Thanks in advance

Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna Nano Polish followed by your choice of wax/sealant.

Truth. See my autopia shout? Im kinda scared to expletive it up hahah. I have a feeling its gonna be hacked from the dealer, its black and she doesnt want to "drive a dirty car home"

and anyone who doesnt think Menzerna &gt; *, is crazy or hasn't used it before. Best polishes known to man, hands down.

Has anyone used Menzerna's final polish? I need a one step semi-aggressive final polish thats easy to buy online. 3M 82878/ 82877 final finish easy clean up polish is a very good one step polish also.

I have their super intensive polish and their 106ff nano polish. 106ff doesnt have much cut but leave an unbeliveable shine. SIP finsihes LSP ready for the most part.
