you would expect that on a car that is over 10 years old, shame though.

Use Meguiars paint cleaner then use Teach wax and then just use the quick detailer between waxing and it brings up the red really well. I used to rate Autoglym for years and years but after trying megiars it is far superior shine lasts longer etc.
