i find its the mirrors that are the pain in the *** on mine atm as they seem pink even after you do the 3 stage meguilars

ive got my mot next month and i just scrape through and then i can get the proper suspension kit for it.

A decent Wax will protect it from UV light as that's what makes it fade.
You can polish it all week, but unless you protect it with wax, it will change colour just as quick as if you hadn't bothered.
Also remember Clay can/will strip the wax and polish off back to bare paint.
