Does it get any better than this? (pics)

Seriously, if it can. What process should I look into? I'm satisfied, but curious if there is anything better. With two thin coats of NXT.
The paint is a metallic, so it's never perfectly clear, always has little specs.

What did you do before the NXt?

Your car looks fantastic. Awesome reflection pics. I am sure you did some kind of prep before waxing. What did you do?

Once again, great work.

Well that was one day into ownership, so I only clayed and hit it with NXT (on the wrong pad even, as most of you saw in my thread walk through of the detail). That's why I can't help but think that there's a way to make it, even better.

Thanks for all the compliments, but it's not hard to have a new car look that good. I just hope to keep it that way!

EDIT:
And with all the information I've learned from you all, I believe that's quite possible. Thanks again everyone. I doubt that I would have the confidence otherwise, without each and every one of your personal tips, tricks, and suggestions. I cannot express that enough, how much I appreciate you all.

Sure, some SwirlX, even a pure polish as well might improve things a little. I doubt it will be drastic.

Can even go ColorX or Cleaner/Wax then Nxt, to at least get a little cleaning and polishing action going before the Nxt.

Thanks Murr, I'll probably pick up some ColorX, it's been on the list for awhile.

I can help you in the process.

1) Power wash with water "remove dirts on car, door jambs,
wheel wells, side skirt, bottom of bumpers.
2) Wash car everywhere.
3) Rinse off with water and dry the car with water magnet towels.
4) Get proper lube and clay bar work one section "ideally 2x2 at a time and dry the lube off the surface and move on to the next surface to clay"
5) When you finish clayed the whole car. do a carwash again/dry the whole car.
6) Apply Color X by 2x2 at a time, remove with microfiber towel.
7) Apply NXT 2.0 *liquid or paste* whenever suit you better 2x2 at a time, remove with microfiber towel.
8) NXT 2.0 really needs about 20 mins or longer to set-up in the limited amount of times I have used it. Sometimes, wiping off too soon will leave blotchy areas but going over these areas with some Quik Detailer the following day should clear things up.
9) I recommend using quik detailer/quik wax for final inpection, mist and swipe entire car and do it slowly, swipe carefully and gently, be sure to find any leftover wax that hadn't been removed.
10) Do a other final inpections on door jamb, gas door,front and rear bumper gap, headlight gap, taillight gap,trunk gap, front grill gap, foglight gap for any leftover wax might had been missed from removal.
11) Bring a quik detailer/detailing towel, bring it with u in the car.
12) Wait till it get dark and cool at night, detail it under the bright lamp post, you'll reveal a true shine of your vehicle.

You stated that you have owned the car only a couple of days. If you bought it from a dealer, did you tell them not to touch it before you took delivery? I wish I had done that with my MX-5. I think I inherited some swirls.
