The Sun Protection package consists of a Grey Shade band across the windscreen, and mildly tinted glass in the rear windows to try and reduce glare for rear passengers in direct sunlight.
Generally speaking, our climates are similar yes, but when it's Sunny over here, the light is often very direct (believe it or not, I've got more sunburnt on one day at the beach in the UK than anywhere I've ever been abroad), so the package can be very useful for helping with light glare

For depth, I hear good things about Dodo products. I would look for forums like autotopia and the like to get ideas of what is available locally.

Myself - I prefer Chemical Guys, Adam's VRT (I don't use his polishes, but VRT rocks), 1Z Einszett (all of it), and Meguiars is always safe.
Thanks for that advice on polishes, waxes etc., will definitely look into those. I've always sworn by Autoglym products, but never used them on such a bright red.
