It is possible to improve the paint by hand with the right products (and alot of man hours) but using a machine polisher is much easier and less time consuming.

Agreed. I did a full detail a few weeks back - clay bar, Griot's #2 polish, #3 polish, glaze, sealer, and then carnuba wax. No way to really remove the orange peel, that I can see in my wife's Honda, and my DD Toyota (as well as my neighbors's Volvo and Audi).
There are no swirl marks or scratches, and then shine is pretty impressive. What I've started to do after a quick detail is to first hit the car with some spray wax followed by a coat of glaze. Glaze doesn't last very long, but my car stays garaged, so that isn't a problem. The glaze gives a really nice shine.
