Depends on the paint condition. You can try polishing a small part to see the result. Or wet sand than polish it to finish.

Probably need to sand down and have it clearcoated again. Once it gets too far, thwere is no bringing faded paint back.

Just be careful when sanding down the paint. Better have it done by a pro.
