Red paint '89

The paint was badly faded, oxidized and stained when I purchased in 6/00. After two applications of dupont auto polish and cleaner using a orbital polisher, the oxidation and discoloration appeared to be removed leaving a clean firm surface. I then applied two coats of paste wax with glaze. In late august I applied another coat of wax and glaze. The surface looked good, clean, a nice deep shine. Now it seems to be fading again and after washing, I'm starting to get red on the chamois. It is factory paint on the car. Is there an inherent problem here other then the fact of being red paint. The car is a keeper and the paint is free of scratches and blemishes. Should I opt for a complete paint over. I'd appreciate any advice. Jim LeBeau
