Claybar, then Autoglym Super Resin Polish, sealed with Collinite #476 if you're applying by hand. It should last 4/5 months before it needs topping up.

Dodo juice lime prime is good for restoring lost colour, has a fine abrasive in it.

Autoglym super resin polish is a filler and will only mask defects not cure them, collinite476 is a good wax and very durable, i had two coats on and was washing once a week for 3 months and there was still good beading on all panels.
