By faded, do you just mean 'not nice and shiny' - brocade yellow is clear coated so shouldnt 'fade'.

Assuming it just needs brightening up, if you're doing it on the cheap, AutoGlym Super Resin Polish followed by Collinite 476 is a winning combination. Ideally you want to clay before polishing if you've not clayed it recently.

If you want to spend some money, the Werkstat kit works well on yellow cars:

This has been discussed before:

I posted a quick detailing 101 a while back if you're looking to get into it:

That could just be an effect caused by the metallic flake. If the paint has genuinely faded then there's not much you can do other than repaint it as it will be below clearcoat. You can polish it as much as you like, but it'll just look shinier - the colour won't be changed.

My brocade corsa's the same no matter how many times you polish it, it's still faded on the bonnet and roof

I've seen loads of brocades like that, I flattened one with 2000 wet and dry and buffed it up and it still was an off colour so I'd say painting is the only way
