Looks like you did a good job; although, it's hard to tell without any direct sun shots.

Dawn soap (prewash)
Megs QD spray+ Mothers Clay Bar
Menzerna 106
Menzerna SIP
Menzerna PO85 RD
I ran the SIP with a wool pad once then a yellow pad...
Then ran white with the 106FA.
and then used the PO85RD with black
I finally used Poorboys black hole
and Natty's blue wax.

Yup I used it to strip off all the wax on the paint.. I never use it unless I intend to strip everything off.
The areas which I did not strip off the Menzerna ill reacted

Seems like alot of steps to me. Do the headlights while your at it. Looks like it improved though in the night shots
