How do I get acrylic gloss to look as good as oil based?

I have tried many of the products on the market ie Dulux acrylic gloss, crown and many more. I have tried watering it down to try make it flow like oil base, I've used floetrol conditioner which helps but still is not as good, I've mixed acrylic varnishes in to try get the result. I use synthetic brushes and have tried pads.How do I get acrylic gloss to look as good as oil based?
I think the acrylic looks as good as the oil, but you could experiment with NAPTHA. You could also buff out the acrylic with 0000 steel wool and wax.How do I get acrylic gloss to look as good as oil based?
could you not add an impasto gel for acrylic? Usually gives it a nice shine. I'm sure an art shop can advise
it's propably looking old cos it's old so just put on another


coat of acrylic gloss to make it look new or call a specialist.
In my experience you can't beat a good oil based gloss, the acrylics always seem to lack that extra bit, if your outside you'd be better off with oil based gloss
