there a sea of products out there to get good finishes that AG hd wax is pretty impressive also poorboys and dodo juice do some quality products for the best finish i would reccomend giving the car a decent claybar then tardis to remove tar deposits and iron x to remove the metal particles off the car from your brakes etc then if you can get hold of a da machine give the paint a light cut with then a decent finish then hand polish and wax have a look on detailing world there are a load of reviews and guides on there but be prepared to spend money as you sort of get carried away buying products well i don anyway haha

Dodo supernatural hybrid wax/sealant seems to be getting very good reviews - I've asks for some for Christmas!
I get great results from Zaino Z5 Pro but it doesn't last very long.

As said get yourself over to detailing world. Ideally your paint would need to be washed, clayed, de-tarred, de-ironed, polished, refined (jewelled for the best results), glazed, then waxed. It's a lot of work for the best results but well worth it. Might be worth paying a good detailer and then just following a good wash regime. If you do decide to take it on yourself be warned, it is addictive and expensive!

Hi if you fancy a good intermediate system and can borrow a da, I can highly recommend the meguires microfibre kit, comes with polishing compound and finishing compound, dead easy to use and will give you glass like finish and top it off with dodo juice supernatural hybrid wax for a nice depth to the paint.
