Blast this through your speakers every time you pass your dealer

If the paintwork is beyond saving (unlikely) then a vinyl wrap might be the answer.
Most likely just needs a machine polish though.
Welcome by the way - where are you based?

A machine polish should sort it out. The famous vauxhall red which fades as soon as it's out of the dealership can be rescued to look as good as new with a good polish.

There's a couple of Vauxhalls outside my office window most days with that issue One is quite old though

Polish sounds like an idea for me to, the roof on mine (carmen red), I noticed the last couple of washes is starting to take on a slight white/grey tinge, really only noticeable straight after a wash and in reasonable light. Same age car as the OP too.

Only a couple of years ago my neighbour had a brand new Vauxhall Corsa which started off Red but literally went pink, so much so that she gave it back after a few months and got Blue Metallic instead.
