i use meguiar's 3-step. it a pain in the ass, but it makes my car's paint feel like new. i u havent waxed in 2 years, i reccomend taking it to a body shop or detail place to have it "buffed." they take and abrasive compound to take off a very thin layer of the clearcoat, where all the contaminants cloud the finish. you could also try using a clay bar to get rid of the contaminants
don't pay to get the car buffed. Get it clayed first. then go all out with meguiars for that buttery smooth feel. Getting the car buffed is way toooooo drastic for a fairly new car that was prolly not abused that much. Trust me on this. I bought my car used (4 years old at the time) and with just one claying the car was like new. look at it now 4 years later.
