chemical composition reflects from sun causing a powder melting featue that buffs off causing the light red fade effect.

Red is the most absorbent hot end of the colour spectrum, that is it is a colour almost equal to black, which is the perfect colour for heat absorption. Physics call a good heat absorber a 'black body'.
Therefore the sun and ambient temperature both encourage the pigment in he car colour, to bleach, causing the colour to lighten, primarily, and then degrade any coating above it, which is why Tcut and any proprietary colour enhancers first cut the surface and then penetrate the base colour with lubricants and protective waxes, resulting in colour restoration and a shiny new looking car !!

Red pigment is just more susceptible to fading. Happens to print too.

They shouldn't, relative to other colors. Red is more durable and a more expensive paint. The cars that have paint problems are more often blue. My brother had a blue Chevy that was repainted at GM's expense.

The pigments in red and yellow paints are softer and more susceptible to light damage.

Oxidation of the red pigment in the paint. Tin of T-Cut cut and polish sorts it.
