Yeah looks pretty good. I mean you could always buff it up.. Remove swirls, polish, seal and then wax it.. Could help with the wetness/depth of the paint.

Unless we get shots that are dedicated to having the sun reflected in the paint, it will look good. If you post up specific oxidized or swirled shots, then we'll have better input for ya

It is difficult to tell from the photos with any certainty if oxidation is present but the paint is 14 years old and likely could have some oxidation. Why not try a test spot with a mild polish and see if it makes a difference. You could also try using a glaze and wax in a test spot. Older paint usually responds well to a glaze. While the paint looks shiny it is possibly not as clear as it could be. The result you want should restore clarity and depth to the paint.

I suspect you might want the paint to look a bit darker and deeper, correct? If so, I'd try clay, polish and follow with Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze or Clearkote Red Moose Glaze and then a carnauba wax known for darkening effects on paint like Meg's #26 or Clearkote Carnauba Moose Wax. Sealants last longer and are highly reflective but typically don't darken the paint. You could apply a sealant and top with #26 for the same darkening effect if you want longer lasting protection.

Keep in mind the darkening is subtle and really has more to do with how light is refracted than actually darkening the paint. The carnaubas mentioned seem to make the paint look darker due the way it reflects and refracts light.

Looks good to me
