there's a whole world of paint knowledge and products out there so i would guess that if you don't know about it by now then you've little interest in spending a load of time learning about it. a great many products are not cheap either!
so given this i would strongly suggest investing in some gunk (or other engine cleaner), soaking a kitchen towel in it and leaving it to sit on your paint for a while. once it has soaked in to pretty much anything tar or insect based then remove the kitchen towel and work in some fresh gunk with a microfibre cloth until all proud road grime spots have come off.
once this is done then a general purpose cleaner/polisher/wax all in one product like mer or turtle wax worked in and buffed off with another microfibre will clean the paint and add a tiny bit of protection.
anything more than that will require a bit more investment on your part or a visit to a paint man.
is it clean enough?
