Good job, the paint looks real clean and reflective...Its very hard to get silver paint to look reflective...

Just curious, why did you let the cleaner and polish sit? Even Meguiar's states that there isn't a need to let the cleaner or polish to sit, you can wipe it down right after applying it. It should actually be done one section at a time and shouldn't be allowed to dry up.
You're right theres no need to let abrasives dry, just work into the paint with MF applicator and wipe with a clean MF.. Some hand polishes are all-in-one which protects and has light abrasives which makes sense to work into the paint, let it haze then buff off...The Cleaner and polish for this lineup was meant to be abrasives and does not protect...Don't see a reason to let it haze but if it works for you then go for it! Everyone has a different way to doing things, its the end result that matters the most..

I've tried the Meg's 3 step line several times before I went crazy and brought 2 buffers..I can honestly say it works nicely but the downside is that my right arm felt like it was going to fall off after the polishing process..Nonetheless, nice reflection at the end with Meg's carnauba...

Good idea. Wanna start setting up a car wash day Rasool? You can teach us "proper" car washing techniques and lord knows all I know how to do is soap a car up, rinse, and repeat lol. I haven't the foggiest idea how to properly wax a car.

Yeah, let's set up a Mini meet for all of these lazy bums who need a car wash. Not now though... too cold xD Somewhere in the summer time, or spring time is in my favor =] Of course, we'll need to find someone who has a big driveway other than I do lol I don't want to wash a car, and then have me spray water all over it >_<
