To clean it i would just use bog standard car shampoo and a wash mitt (no sponges They put scratches into your paint!)

Then if you have any light swirl marks or scratches something like autoglym super resin polish its more filler than polish and will remove small scratches and lessen the appearance of others.

then just a good wax to protect the shine :thumleft:
