What polish for my car?

I have decided to purchase a 14 month Avensis Tourer. This is an ex Toyota car.
Not sure if these normally get any (supagaud) paint work treatment when first registered by Toyota, but the garage is pushing £1,250 of various paint work and tyre / alloy cover - all of which I have declined!

So, my question - what are the best (easy to use) products for:
1. Paint work &
2. Alloy wheel protection

Autoglym paint cleaner followed by Autoglym hi def wax. Not cheap: £25 + £45. But the best. Lasts about 9 months. Alloy wheels, just keep them clean. Particularly clean off the corrosive black brake dust.
