Detailed the G yesterday.(14 pics)

Well i took advantage of the beautiful day we had yesterday in NY to detail my G at my girls house. This was my first time using a PC so it took me a few minutes to adjust to properly use it. My only problem was that i had alot of errands to fulfill that i wasnt even able to completely finish what i started so i had no choice but to skip a step. the products i used were...
Meguiars Car wash soap,
Menzerna Intensive polish(applied via PC[spd 5] with orange pad ),
Menzerna Final Polish II(skipped the step due to time/no light)
Meguiars Gold Class wax( Spread[spd2-3] via PC with black pad)
Meguairs Tire shine (forgot the name its a clear liquid and it comes in a spray bottle)
Blue tape to cover the emblems.
and now for the results...














As you can see in some pics, the swirls are still noticeable but definitely some were removed thanks the the PC and the menzerna polish, this weekend if i get a chance ill finish the job with the final polish and see the results. Im still a rookie at using the PC any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
For those NY members the pics were taken at Astoria Park today and the products are courtesy of DetailedImage.com and my local autozone.lol thanks guys

Looks good, some light swirling still that could be addressed, but on a black car that turned out great!

lol opps, sorry for the major deception, I erased one. Thanks for all the compliments guys. and yes the pics were taken at the end of astoria park near the DEP entrance. The light swirls will hopefully be taken care of this weekend if all goes well with the final polish.

Nice. IMHO only though. You could have not skipped a step to remove the swirls and maybe applied the polish/sealant later? If you polish to get rid of the swirls, you take off the wax/sealant?

Question though. Did you tape all the black trim/plastic etc?????
