G3 and machine poilsher ,
have the whole car done in less than half hour.....will come up a treat.......you can just use polish or t-cut but will take a little more effort to get a deep shine...

I'd use T cut on a polishing wheel and then follow up with 2 coats of Maguires gold class wax. Gives a good deep polish but takes some time with the TCut. Plus to the T cut is that it isn't abrasive enough to leave swirls in the paint unless you leave the buffer too long in one spot.
