Try a good rubbing compound. How old is the car? Red is usually more prone to fading. At least from what I have heard.

like billjc suggested use a good rubbing compound, polish it, and wax it.

that's also why i wouldn't debadge if the car is that "old". it's inevitable that the paint will fade, thus leaving a discernible difference in coloration.

I debadged mine after 6months of use. After the letters came off, u can see hte outline of the letters. but I washed and waxed the car after that, and u can't see the outlines anymore. So try waxing it.
