What were your processes and products?

FWIW, it really isn't safe for your paint to wipe it down after driving and rain

I just used Mequiar's Gold Class wax, when it gets warm and I get some time I plan on claying, buffing, polishing, and probably tryin out some zaino, it needs it bad. I made sure to wet it down before I dried it off so I wouldn't scratch up the paint.

Wetting it down won't prevent scratching. I replied to your PM

Cool, I can see them now. Would've looked sick if those rims were black, but it still looks great.

looks good, did the same thing to mine saturday, damn this rain here in NC! but luckily mine has been sitting in the garage ever since you might want to keep a bottle of quick detailer in the car with a few nice towels so you can wipe it down after this happens. i used to do that when i drove mine to school, it worked great.
