how do I polish to a nice shine?
To get rid of some orange peel in cellulose, I've sanded back with 600 grit, then 1200 grit and then polished with Farecla G3 using a mop on a
machine. The result is no more orange peel but a sheen rather than a shine.
What do I need to do? More G3 on the machine? G3 but by hand? Some other finer polish?

This is what I do, and it come up super shiney.
Clay bar, to remove swirls from G3 and mop.
Then 3 step - this is a fine cut, then a polish then wax. Personally I use meguiars, but there are others too. (Do all of this with straight backwards
and fowards polishing, not round in circles!)
The finally Jetseal, this is like a super hard wet look top coat. Its not cheap, but it does mean the car will stay super shiney for 12months!

Forgot to say, use a microfibre polishing cloth, not the woven cotton ones...
Time consuming, but worth it!

 sorry to say im on that forum
p2000 g3 g6 g10 Carnuba Wax bees wax ect lol
just give the whole pannel a good rub with t-cut and wash it of with soapy water if its still dull
you should tcut it again .
you can hear t-cut working when there is no noise its polished the scratches are that fine you cant see them but you can hear them ..
sometimes the easiest way is the best.
(i worked in a bodyshop for years i worked on weding and funeral cars )

Wash and polish with Autoglym products and decent clean sponges/cloths.
Get in and drive looking at the road ahead, not the shinyness of the car 
That said when I had more time on my hands I did spend a ,lot of it polishing my 205s

I used G10 straight after G3. Then followed by good wax polish.
