Cant go wrong with some "Autoglym Super Resin", followed by a coat of "Autoglym extra protection" (sealant) then perhaps a top coat of wax.

I'd use foam pad applicators for the polish, and microfibre cloths to remove.

Firstly though i'd clay the whole car to remove all the bonded crap on the paint, good prep for the polish :D
