What's the best way to bring back the colour on my car? T-Cut or just a good polish?

Polish is no use. You have to bring the paint back to life first or you'll just be making the faded paint shiny.
Although after using the G10 I used Meguirs 3-stage system.
1. Paint Cleaner
2. Polish
3. Wax.

T-Cut takes a layer of paint off but not as much a the G10 so you got more control then use the Colour Turtle Wax to bring the shine back
whats so hard about that ???
