Red Paint Fades Quickly

Hello

I have a red 1986 560SL, which I can tell has been painted and not by the best of the painters. In any case I can bring the color out to a beautiful shine but I'm lucky if it last 2 months. I'm wondering if a inferior quality paint was used on this car and is there something I can do to help preserve the shine longer. Attached are pictures of the car as received well faded from the California sun and recently buffed and waxed. The Waxes Ive tried are McGuires Gold Class and NXT. I more recently tried another product, which I cant remember the name but it was in an orange bottle and it really made the car look good but would not last at all.
