Meguiar's NXT for wax, and then Honda's spray polish for quick touch ups. You may need to start with a polishing compound if it's that bad. Then follow it up with a good polish (i.e. Meguiars show car glaze), and lastly a couple coats of wax. You should be back in business then.

Not much you can do with faded paint unless you get through the clear coat. Agree with the previous poster use a light buffing compound.
I'd try a clay bar first, then follow with a good carnuba wax.

Thanks everyone The paint isn't really faded. I just doesn't have the depth it once had. I am going to pick up a clay bar and see how that works. Thanks again.
