Yes the colour could be a little different but should be easy to fix.
Autoglym Super Resin Polish applied using a foam applicator, buffed off with a microfiber cloth. Do this to all of the car (avoid any plastic trim) and your car shold be looking very nice

Paint fade can happen if you have parked your car in the sun a lot. If that happens, and it is severe, polish will not solve the problem. Only a respray will fix the issue.
