Default paint oxidation

My red 99 3000GT has badly oxidized paint, especially on the plastic parts like the spoiler and rear panels behind the windows. Any suggestion on how to wax/polish/buff some shine back?

Red paint oxidation is always a problem. You can try very fine polish like Griots Machine Polish # 4 or 3. If the oxidation has gone too far the only way to fix it is to have the parts re-sprayed. Sherwin Williams automotive finishes can match the color exactly if you provide them with the paint color number from the metal tag on the firewall under the hood.
