Car looks great. Make sure you throw the cord of the PC over your shoulder so that won't scratch any cars. Other than that it looks like you have the eye of a detailer.

What are the 6 lime green colored bottles in your first picture?

I see that you said the car was "very very lightly swirled". That being said, a 3 step polish with SSR2.5, SSR2 and the Megs polish with the cutting pads seem way overkill and almost too abrasive IMO (for that car). I'm not trying to scare you or anything but there is a reason why people say to "use the least abrasive polish as you can".
 
Nice work Gaz, good to see you on here lad, one of the best detailing forums I know of, and still little known in our part of the world. Keep up the good work mate. :)
