iv heard that you can polish a satin finish into an almost glossy finish. is this true? what are the best products to use and what is the best method??

this can be done easily, but it's not permanent and CAN leave the finish sticky if not buffed sufficiently....
buff lightly with a soft cotton cloth impregnated with old fashioned "bar wax" (the wax used on bowling alley lanes)
then buff vigorously with a clean cotton cloth.

repeat until desired shine is achieved,

I have a Les Paul Standard Faded that had a flat finish when I got it. I did some research and ended up buying Virtuoso Cleaner and Virtuoso Polish. I put around 4 coats of the cleaner on and then 6 coats of the polish. It now has a beautiful soft satin sheen to it. I did the whole process by hand, but I've seen photos where they get even shinier with polishing by machine like a variable-speed drill and buffing bonnet.
Here is a link to one of the threads that i followed; Mine came out very similar to his.

Here's mine (on the left) next to my CS-336 with a normal Nitro finish
