What is the best way to bring back a good shine after having been wet sanded with grit 2000? I had some orange pealing that I'm sanding out. It's a single stage urethane(Valspar 852) paint.

Use a soft polishing compound. I'd recommend going to a paint shop and asking them. They should sell a variety of polishing agents to suit your needs or tell you where to get it.

start off with a micro finishing compound,its less abrasive then a regular compund,then go onto a glaze to remove scratches and then the 3rd step is finer glaze.I bout a little 3" pad set,that has 1 sheepskin pad for cutting and 2 foam pads for polishing,You use it on a drill so theres little chance of burning the paint.I really dont use wax that often,just glaze.
