Thanks! This was like 2.5 hours of work. But the reflection is perfect right now...

I didnt this year. I clay barred last June or July....I have heard not to clay bar too often. And considering how the paint looked after my first post winter wash a few weeks ago, I probably won't clay bar again til next spring

That looks like it did a very nice job. I need to polish mine.

Looks good, 2.5 hrs you are fast, took me 12 last time. But I claybar, power polish, and carnauba every time. If you don't clay you will be rubbing the grit into the paint. The clay picks up the muck stuck to your paint.

I'm looking for a new wax. The air here is always full of dirt, really fine grain stuff that makes talcum powder seem like gravel. The car will look clean, but after a light drizzle there's a leopardskin pattern of brown. The NXT 2.0 I use seems to act like glue.

I've been happy with the seal this gets, might be worth a try.
