Klasse AIO also does a nice job at removing oxidation. I think it will work best with a buffer.

Meguiars makes a really nice line of cutting products that can be purchased locally. Def a brand where you can get everything from soap to a cleaner to a polish, compound, glaze, wax and polymer.

Just not clay

If your car is really dull, your going to need to spend a good deal of time and really clean up the clear.
