Paint fading

Hi. My gf has a 2003 yellow oz lancer. The paint on the spoiler is fading really badly, is there anything I can do to make it shine again?

meeeh lancers come with a cheap ****ty factory paint job, not much to consider if your on a budget i suggest turtle wax cleaner/polisher also removes oxidation...worked for me. If not then new paint job? just remove spoiler sand it out and repaint, followed by clear coat so it doesn't fade so quick again.

Had this exact issue on my 96 lancer, spoiler faded well ahead of the rest of the paint and everything I tried wouldn't revive it. Quality repaint is your best option.
