A good cutting compound, either by hand of one a mop will help bring the colour up. Then you wanna seal it with a good wax and keep on top of it.
What do you wanna spend?
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
no idea dont no how much its likely to cost
Check this link out - from flame pink to flame red! a 6 hour machine polish today!
I used AutoGylm Paint Renovator (pink label) and elbow grease. Then sealed it using DiamondBrite. My Corsa Gsi was bad when i got it.
My Bro's old Corsa was pink whne he bought it. A few hours with autoglym SRP and it was nice and shiny again![]()
T-cut and some elbow grease first them auto glym srp should bring it up
Or using a mop and some 3m fine cut, buff the car then use a good wax and work it in by hand to seal the finish in.

You mean flame pink isnt a vauxhall colour???lmao
Use some G3 that is good stuff
a lot of people say good old t cut is good on faded reds a couple of gos over with the tcut then some srp and finally a good wax or sealant oh and show us some pics of your hardwork
If you wanna get special you could use a Porter Cable, and the CG SSR2.5, or pro-polish, then either a glaze, sealing with Jetseal.
The main thing to remember is to seal it properly when polished, otherwise it'll oxidize again.
