FWIW, I like the Dinan badge. Tells you not to f- with the car.

Looks great, though I agree more photos would be welcome! Your routine sounds good. My routine is: wash, dry, clay, wipe down with IPA, polish, wipe down with IPA, then seal or wax.

OP,
there really isn't much of a need to wash the car after claying. A simple wipe down if you must would be more than sufficient. The finish looks beautiful though!!!

Great job!!
