For this to be the original paint it still looks great to me.

Looks great man. One question. Did you apply the polish after the wax??

I say polish but both are really waxes. I've had good luck in the past with this...

#26 Meguiar's (yellow wax) - I just like this stuff.
and then
Meguiar's Tech wax - to me this gives it that wet look.

You can really tell the difference if you do your pre-steps. Wash, clay, wash, cleaner, etc...

 

Very clean . Good work.

 

Looks great!

 

Tech wax has a fair amount of cleaner in it and is a sealant based "wax". So it's probably taking most if not all of the #26 wax off since it's a carnuba based wax. Better idea would be to use the tech wax first then put the #26 on. You'll probably have better results that way and longer lasting protection. Not to mention the only thing that sticks to carnuba is more carnuba.

 

Where'd the HVAC **** go ?????

 

pretty damn good for stock paint. nice work.
