Need some advice to help tired paint

Regular waxing and washing has my car looking pretty darn good. But its getting a little faded in the usual areas like the rear bumper and front plastic clip. I want to get into the Zaino waxes, but want to polish the heck out of my clear coat before I spend money on Zaino. What is a good compound, polisher and procedure for restoring the shine. I'm all ears and no suggestion is unreasonable besides repainting. (I know I can do that) Thanks for any help.

If it is faded, there is no help, it is the pigment in the black base coat that is leaving. Remember your car is clear coated, you can polish, buff, compound the crap out of it and you will never touch the faded base coat, all you will do is thin out the clear coat.
