Pics of my ride's shine.
My business partner took these for our website the other day. I polished it using Poorboy's SSR#2 then topped that with Poorboy's EX.

Rep Power: 0 Nice finish. 
Should take some shots with the sun out hitting the paint. that's when you really tell if the finish is clean.

Sun directly behind me.

I think you can see the sun here.

Rep Power: 0 Still too far to notice, but that's cool if you found something you like, use it.

Rep Power: 0 You are probably right Impulse. I did not use Meguiars, and God knows they are the best of the best. Hell, the stuff I used lasted more than a week and we both know that can not be good wax!

Rep Power: 0 Day Tripper: Took me a little while to get the paint that good. The dealer left me with swirls galore. But once you get it that way and take proper care of it it is easy.
Impulse: You could be right! I will make a dealer appointment asap! :P

Rep Power: 0 Enough with the wax lasting a week. Are you ok? What are you washing your car with, dish detergant? The wax does not last a week your crazy. It's the most durable wax Meguiar's offers. If the wax was garbage don't you think the company would be out of business. Think about it. Did Meguiar's turn you down on a distrubution deal or something. I smell a hater.

Rep Power: 0 Honestly... Meguiars does make a good wax... But, there are simply others out there that are better. I do have to agree on the NXT lasting less than a week. The stuff is good but, it really just doesnt get the "oooo" out of me.

Rep Power: 0 No Meguiar's did not turn me down. I would never think of selling them since you can get them everywhere already. I would not be saying that Meguiars NXT did not last IF it really did last. It is the truth. I have used it and seen it first hand. If I hated Meguiar's so much I would not have even tried it. It is not the products I don't like. It is their employees who muct be on every car detailing forum telling people who did not like their products that they are wrong and did it wrong. Really though, some of their stuff is terrific. I used to use Final Inspection all the time. I also know that their DAPC is very good as well. Along with a bunch of other products.
