Meguiars is the way to go. I use their products on my i30 and Zymol on my other cars.
You won't go wrong with the meguiars stuff

Good question well asked, what colour is it? any problems with the paint condition, swirls, scratches, etc. It also depends how far you want to go and what you want to spend.
cheers

What model Hyundai is it?
You have 2 options, spend heaps of money and do it properly and enjoy it, or spend liitle money and polish your car.
First option involves buying a polisher and learning to use it, 2 stage polish with various pads and polishes etc.
I will focus on option 2, for the normal daily driver and someone that is not into cleaning their car go to Autobarns or supercheaps and buy some polish, some microfibre cloths to polish with and remove said polish.

Here is a couple of options, start with the polish and finish with the wax.
Let me know how you go.
cheers

I purchased a local product today SOLVEX (from Tweed Heads, NSW)
Should arrive in the next couple of days.
Saw it at a show - not available in stores.
