Looks great! Extremely nice work with the touch up paint!
The first picture looks like clear coat failure.  | |

The finish appears to be very nice, but I think the results would of been much better if you follow M105 with UF like you said. The interior does look excellent.
I know you must of worked hard to get the finish where you did, but I am sure you would like to bring the finish to the next level. Do a search for ultrafina and take the time to do some reading about how to use it.

This is about my 15th car, maybe 20th. 2nd time wet sanding, and 3rd with a rotary. Anyhow, I'd like to order some UF...where can I get it, and what pad do you recommend putting it on with? I have like 4-5 LC pads and was thinking of using the blue or white one for applying it. | |

Very good then. The Blue LC pad works great with UF. I get mine from the local body shop supply place for $35 a quart. I think some guys have mail ordered it for $41 shipped. Just not sure where from.

Incredible job. Wow.
What the heck was going on with that first picture? Looked like a paint reaction or a nasty bird crap.
