Just get a clay bar kit, decent polish and collinite wax (Or i find PoorBoys Natty Blue is good for our colour) that will be about £40 but should show the results nicely!

So does clay barring just just clean up the paint, or help make it shinier too?

Bob, claying is the best thing you can do to your car if it's never been done before. It will make the paint really smooth and will help make it shinier!
