Default quick wash and wax

decided to give the stang a quick bath today and top it with od wet obsession. this is my first time coating the entire car, so i figured i'd post sinc everyone else is. i know the car need to be polished terribly bad. the sun was hiding from me behind some clouds, so the pictures are kinda weak, but anyhow here ya go. compliments and/or constrictive criticism appreciated!

Surface looks pretty good. I can see some mild swirls in that third picture right where the sun is shining on the paint. Regardless like I said, it looks good.

Yeah, definitely looks like it could use a polish, but it looks pretty good.

Use some Meguiars #80, follow up with some Poorboy's Black Hole, top with your choice of wax and you'll be amazed at the finish. I've tried a LOT of products and Poorboy's Black Hole is nearly the best pure polish out there especially for the price. Their website is www.poorboysworld.com
