I would either use a cleaner wax or possibly a dedicated cleaner or AIO such as Klasse, Werkstat Prime, Zaino AIO, Sonus Paint Cleaner, P21S's Paint Cleaner. The dedicated cleaner may do a more thorough job. After using the cleaner, inspect the paint and make the call. Did the cleaner or cleaner wax spruce up the paint enough for you? If so, you are good to go. If not, decide if you are willing top pay for a new paint job. If you are, then give a cutting compound or polish a try first, what do you have to lose? You are going to repain it anyways so who cares.
I agree with Greg Cavi, what could the polish do? Start off easy. Use something like 3M Ultrafina or
Menzerna PO87 or PO85rd or Optimum Finish Polish on a finishing pad (Lake Country Blue, Red or Black, or Edge White) and see what happens. The combination of those products and pad are soooo gentle that I cannot see anything bad happening. If you see a tiny amount of improvement but want more, maybe take another step up to
Menzerna 106 or SIP or Optimum Polish or Meguairs 205 on a polishing pad such as a
Lake Country White or Green or Edge Blue.
