Rubbing out Shellac
Can you get a high gloss sheen by using automotive cutting compound and polish on shellac?.

I've recently tried this with autosol, and yes the difference is quite obvious.
Hope this helps.
edit: time will tell if there are issues with this that can arise later.

So,
take a test piece and get it to a nice finish with shellac.
Polish half of it (half of the same side) with your compound of choice and then gauge the difference in reflection against a light or well defined object.
it was really quite clear how much the clarity of reflection had improved on the polished half.
Cheers, Jeff
