At the very least, it makes cleaning it the next few times a little easier. Hate driving after making mine shine, but these days I do a couple coats of that McGuires quick wax spray, which turns out ok for the time invested...
Purty! Nice job with the detailing. With only 10K miles, I expected it to look nice, but your work on the paint made it better than showroom new. I can see why you love it so much.
