Hey I have a 1983 Porsche 944 in Guards Red, but it's really faded after 10 years with no car cover in the california sun. Should I repaint it, or perhaps wrap it? Or do you think that it would be good enough to just wax and polish it to bring back the shine?

One of the best ways is to use a torque wrench as a breaker bar. Make sure you set it to 160 ft/lbs so it's tougher and more strong than the bolt currently is.
Honestly I'm thinking you can take this opportunity to grab a different color. Maybe try color-matching to something like this for a more tuner feel

Or maybe something like this for a bright, sporty feel

I don't know why every picture in this thread is the same 2018 Honda Civic but try polishing the Porsche first. Old red cars are notorious for fading, and usually a good polish will bring back the shine you want (and then you can protect it with some good quality wax or sealant). Larry from AMMO NYC covers a lot in this video.

It's a lifesize Hot Wheels Car. I hope they make my beloved danger noodle car next.
