Buffing and polishing can take some out. Did you try that?

3m rubbing compund, then a nice fine polish, then a good caranuba wax
Malm's and Griot's make/sell the best waxes and polishes

If a rubbing compound doesn't work you need to try wet-sanding.
Doing the entire car will get rid of the nasty oramge peel.
