Thank you!! You must've read my mind about the spacers!! Not sure how big to go at the moment, poke or flush 
...
Thanks man! Still see some swirls though
, I used color specific polish but those things are deep I guess, looks like the previous owner washed the decklid with steel wool.
Yes it is
, Hard to keep it this clean though thats for sure!

I actually did this detail myself, I of course washed the car first, then I clay barred literally the entire car, after the clay I used color specific polish (black) and polished the god out of it, then I waxed it and finally used color specific detail spray. At the shop I work at they usually charge about $250-200 for a job like this depending of course how far gone the paint is.

A polish is a liquid containing fine abrasives that, when used properly, will remove a small amount of your vehicle's clear coated surface to leave behind a smooth, shiny surface. The polishing process is a relatively slow and steady process.
I do not see why a "color specific polish" would have any benefits as the polishing residue should be completely removed prior to applying any layer of protection. Perhaps you are using a sort of glaze rather than a polish?
The price point that you mentioned would lead me to believe this is not as in depth as a proper paint correction process.... or else the company you work for is severely undercharging (IMO) for that type of work :/

HERE is a more in-depth detailing guide that walks you through the process.
