I wish you had better quality pictures, but one can easily see that the paint is in excellent condition.
Remember that prep is 90%. So on that finish just about anything will look great.

As you can see in the before pictures, the cars stays in excellent condition.
It is a race car - autocross (Scca - he finished second last season)
Last summer I went over it with Optimum Polish and sealed it with Meg's #16.
Paint was still very slick.
Anyways, today after a QEW I polished it out with Menzerna's 106ff & a polishing padf with the pc, except the hood had 3 minor scratches around 1.5" each so I had to use my rotary with the same pad at 1500 - 1800 rpm.
Protected it with FK1 #1000 synthetic paste wax.
