Loads to choose from, a look on detailingworld may help
For shine you want a wax or sealant, preferably sealant if it's dark.
The new Blackfire midnight sun is good, but so are dozens others.

I've got their EX-P sealant, seems to last a very long time, looks good on dark blue, is cheap, and smells lovely

The key is a good surface for it to stick to, so at least clay bar it

wash
good clay
polish
paint cleaner if you have any
wax/sealent 2 coats if possible

do you have a polishing machine or polishing by hand

machine id use menenza polish

hand autoglym super resin polish as this has fillers in so will fill imperfections so will make it look better
