You can get the products from cleanyourcar.co.uk or poloished bliss.

In the winter i use collonite wax which is very durable and last atleast 3 months with one coat, in the summer time i use a wax which is less durable but gives a wetter look to the paint.

If you go on the websites you mentioned there is tons of products you can get, but once you get started it can get rather addictive.
