Very good job! I, too, was about to request close ups as 'after' pics in the interest of fairness until I scrolled to this page. Too many detailers try to pull a fast one by not doing so. Glad to see you did post them!
By the way, did you post these on the Click and Brag?

Dawn wash using two bucket method (one for soap, one for rinsing)

Optimum Polish using my PC
Meguiar's #21 to seal the paint using the PC as well

Great job on the detailing, what kind of Pads did you use with your PC? Did Optimum Polish take off the swirls?
