A good bloody polish!
I used a clay bar, then deep shine, the super resin the other day. Has come up a treat! 
Or you can pay someone £200 and they'll do it for you.

a mop form a bodyshop should bring the colour up well

T cut and loads of elbow grease.
Autoglym super resin polish.
I find works brilliantly

If you're doing that, i'd certainly clay it first.

difficult colour yellow, much like the green on my ibiza.
As said, autoglym super resin polish is pretty good

Coming from the owner of a Flame Red car, I have found standard, original T-cut and AutoGylm Super Resin polish the best then just finish it off with a good wax to seal it all in. I use the Meguiars Spray Tech Wax.
If it is metallic, I think he might need a special metallic T-cut

There is a metallic T-cut, but the normal one works alright. Looks better with the metallic one though, of course. I noticed the difference after using metallic Turtle Wax on my car after using the normal one.
