autoglym super resin polish-£5-7
autoglym extra gloss protection-£5-7

Yeah there are a million and one products out there. What people do typically is fine what works best for them. As Lexusboy said, it seems to be a personal thing. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top brands really.
As Lexusboy says, very personal, you will get many people telling you about different products. Of course money is a big issue here with the likes of Zymol costing a fortune compared to any other product.
I have attached some addresses to various sites I have used with success in the past, the choice is huge. See what you budget allows & post up what you are thinking about buying then perhaps the members can offer an opinion. There is also a couple of detailing sites that offer good advice & info on current products.

As Some of the guys have said it all down to cost but i would start with a good wax.
Often the differance on one wax to another is some are better on some colours.
So i would go over to http://www.detailingworld.co.uk and get all the info for your final selection.
I use Collinite 476s wax Mr Mole uses Dodo juice and get very good results other use Autoglym or Zaino z8 so maybe a evening reading will give you a good idea on what maybe worth spending your money on and if you get this right then it will be worth the many hours to get your car cleaned to a good finish.
Wax is a good example of a personal thing. Person A might find Wax X very easy to work with, and gets good results. But Person B finds it a bit of a nightmare (too hard, too soft, etc) and so uses Way Y instead. Person C probably needs to try Wax X and Wax Y to see if he likes either of them, or maybe he needs to try something else !
All the top products will do a good job. It's really down to how easy you find them to use etc.
