oxidation fix?

the top of my front bumper and top of the rear bumper are kind of faded looking especially when the sun shines straight on it, usually every other washing i hit it with detail spray and that covers it up for awhile but eventually comes back. Any good products that can fix this?

Have you tried a paint cleaner (like Meguiars Deep Crystal System Step 1) and a polish? Then follow with a good wax.

Try that. It may take several applications or a stronger product if it's really bad, and if it's white and bits start flaking off..... uh oh.

Use some compound and then glaze it.

Try 3M swirl remover. It works well for oxidation especially if you have a dark colored car.
