How would you recommend I go about polishing my Mazda MX-5?

Many thanks for your recent advice on the best paintwork clay cleaner and wax products for my MX-5. Could you now advise on the best polishing method and products?

If you clay bar and wax the car body you don't need a polish. A polish is abrasive. It shines by taking off the surface of the paint. A wax is different. A wax sits on top of the paint and protects it. You could use a polish such as Autoglym Super Resin polish, then wax the car with High Def wax.
