Car looks great. Just to play devils advocate. I wouldn’t call something you have to wipe with a damp towel and then buff with a dry “ease of use.
You basically are wiping the car one whole extra time than something you can just wipe on and wipe off.
Can’t argue with the reults though… great reflection shot.

Thank you!
Seeing your devil`s advocate and responding, I will take 2 EASY wipes, one immediately following the other, that minimizes the chances of smearing/swirling over one more difficult wipe that could very likely leave streaking/swirls, any day (especially on a HIGHLY polished BLACK car like mine). Like you said, "Can`t argue with the results." SOMETIMES, I even go over the car a THIRD time, in what Mike Phillips would call a "Final Wipe." Just to be SURE all the residue is gone.
And actually, going over the car with the "damp towel/dry towel" is FASTER and LESS likely to leave residue (missed spots).
Besides, this is THERAPY for me, very relaxing, almost Zen - so the "extra" wiping doesn`t bother me at all.
Believe me, the damp towel wipe followed by a dry towel wipe using Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Polish-and-Wax after being a applied with a Porter-Cable DA using a Lake County Orange SDO CSS foam polishing pad is an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY on black. I know first hand from doing so on my black 2006 Ford Freestyle. It does help to eliminate the streaking/hazing that is easier to see on black. It IS on the bottle label directions for removal. Things you "learn "from actually READING the manufacturer`s label BEFORE you use any detailing product can save a novice a lot of headaches and calls to the customer service center on why a product doesn`t work so well. Or as Accumulator abbreviated it: RTFL,S.
Case in point about reading product labels: I bought and use Meguiar`s new Hybrid Ceramic Trim Restorer (the pink stuff). It stated on the label to let it remain on the trim for 5-10 minutes . The longer it sits, the darker the appearance. I am so used to wipe-on-(immediate) wipe-off and that has been my product removal standard-operating- procedure for many detailing products, including this one: until I read label directions. Like I say, live-and-learn.
Right way, wrong way, and Captain Obvious`s way. Remember this idiom is coming from a guy that when you place a hammer in his hand, you have two objects with roughly the same IQ. Just sayin`.....
