Adams and Chem Guys work well, not too $$ if you wait for sales to buy. I'd start by washing with a soap that will remove old waxes or coatings, then use the sealer. You can also consider a wax to use after the sealer, plus quick detailer for maintenance after washes. It's also good for removing bird droppings.
My current opinion is that unless you want to make cleaning your car into a hobby it's best to let a pro polish and seal/ceramic your car once a year. It's hard on your body to do it all by hand. Costs $125-150 for exterior detail w/polish+sealer, I haven't used or had a ceramic applied. I maintain this mostly by using Chem Guys VO7 quick detailer after a wash, sometimes the buttery wax if I feel I need to do more work. The QD is also good for wiping the edge of the doors, trunk, etc after a wash.
Ceramic leaves behind a hard coating, this could be a good idea because of how soft modern auto paint is. I may give it a shot on the areas I didn't clear bra...
