Small specks on my paintwork

[Whichmcqueen]

Hey guys, I've got a yellow Stilo 2002- the paint is a little faded; anyway of bringing it back up? Never really had a serious car care experience before! Also, have lots of really small, black and orange specks all over the bodywork; they're really small but it irritates the hell outta me!
Any advice would be great, thanks guys!

You wont get rid of the fading as it is under the lacquer, the only way is a respray.
The black specs are tar
The orange specs are iron.
For the tar, get a dedicated tar remover like autosmart tardis for example.
For the iron, the best thing is iron x.

Excellent, I'll try and pick those two up as soon as I can; I was thinking about debadging the back of my car- but if the boot is a little faded, I presume it will stand out? I presume if I can't bring the paint back up, Is there a way of bringing the newly revealed paint down to match?

you can bring some shine back with a good polishing session then session then seal the paint with a quality wax or sealent to protect it form further fading

Try polishing the paint first. Chances are on a car that age and colour is a solid 2k paint which should be easily rectified
