Some colors of gel coat tend to fade more (or quicker) than others. From the boating perspective at least, red is really bad fade-wise, which is why you don't see too many red boats.
Basically the gel coat begins to chalk, and while waxing will also correct the problem, it is really only temporary as it will go back to fading as soon as the wax dissipates.
Buffing will help too, but again - it's just temporary.
The thing that puzzles me though is that you should not be having these issues on a relatively new coach. But gel coat gets damaged by UV, perhaps California + Thor means premature gel coat fading... I don't know.
The most longevity you can get I think is if you apply a product called PolyGlow - which is not inexpensive, but at least the gel coat should not show any fading for a year or two.
