the whole reason it's going back to pink is because he isn't putting protection on it.
wax will protect the paintwork.

polish till your arms fall off then wax it till your head falls off.
or get it buffed then wax it till your head falls off.

Keep it in a garage or use a wax with a UV filter.

I'd go over and t-cut all the pink bits to bring out the original paint, then keep on top of things with a good wax/buff.
