result of clay bar and meguiar's nxt (56K Warning)

Looks great.
It is amazing what you can do with a black GS and quality wax. You will find Souveran is even more reflective than NXt when the surface is properly prepped like yours.

Is souveran easy to use? and where do you get some? I have been looking for it because it was your picture that inspired me to detail my car. I wanted a surface so reflective that I can take a picture of it and see myself in it. So far, I have been getting similar results with NXT on my other cars

It depends on how well prepped your car is. I used to work for a used car dealer back in high school so I know a little bit more about detailing. The secret is in the prep and the condition that your paint is in. Post some pics of your car or send me a PM.

I would also recommend since it is a 1998 model to buy some SSR2.5 from Poorboy's which is the best swirl mark remover and general polish on the planet. This will further remove surface imperfections and bring the shine up even more although things look very good in the pic.

Great job, but you polished and then clayed? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be better to have clayed first? Claying is going to remove just about all the surface grime (reason why your car looks so sweet), and polish is going to fill up and even out all the scratches and swirls. If you polish then clay you're trapping in some of the dirt with the polish. I guess you could clay before and after polishing (wouldn't that be fun!) to be perfect.
Either way, that job looks SWEET.
