Looking at the website is it just clear coat? I have seen people spraying clear coat over rough paint to get a sheen like that I just wonder if that what it is.

I can't see how it works without eliminating the oxidized paint.

It does seem like just a clear coat, with UV protection additives. I guess it’d make the equipment look good for a while, but if it ever started coming off...

I used something like that on a Florida sun-bleached GMC Jimmy about 20 years ago. It worked OK, but did not make it look like new paint. That was an acryilic product that did come off over time, but not like an lacquer or enamel clear coat. It didn't peal off, it just kind of went away gradually over time and it could be reapplied. It was like one day you realized it was dull again.
I don't know if this is similar, but if I had something faded that I didn't want to paint, I'd try something like the stuff I used years ago again.

Read on some other forums that you need to degrease real well, scoff it up with a scotchbrite, and spray the stuff on heavy to almost running point.
Also seen it was $28 a spray can at https://www.farmshopstore.com/search.php?search_query=colorback&x=4&y=5

Well that just sounds like a regular clear-coat then.
