Yeah go with Zymol or Mothers there the best with dark colored paints. Meguiars Gold Class is good too that is what I am using currently.

Polish, Menzerna are great but not for hand application.
Wax at reasonable cost, I've had great results with SwissVax Onyx.

Balckfire Wet Diamond All Finish. Best one for hand applying and buffing with fantastic results.

This one you wax over the top of it. Give it the prescribed day or so of curing first before waxing on top of it. I think its a polycarbonate coating. The stuff will give you the deep crystal clear look.
