Default Mustang detail-Pics

Took care of a solid old '89 Mustang convertible today...Here are some before & after pics. It turned out pretty good, I think. Those old red fox bodies don't have clear on them, so alot of paint reisdue comes off, even when just washing & drying. I told the owner that the fading will come back, the car sits in the garage all the time now, so it should stay shiny for a while. Any ideas of a good sealer for a job like this?

*Wash w/ Tropi-Care soap & microfiber mit.
*APC on the wheel wells & tires.
*Dry w/ micro-fiber towel.
*3M compund via PC, LC orange pad, speed 6.
*Tropi-Care swirl cutter via PC, LC orange pad, speed 4-5.
*Turtle Wax Black Chrome cleaner/sealant on all black moldings.
*ClearKote Vanilla Moose Wax hand glaze, by hand.
*Spot detail w/ Dupont detailer.
*Black Magic tire foam on the tires.
*Windex on the wheels & windows.

Thanks for the compliments!
It was cool to see the transformation of the paint.

I've got a few more polishes lined up to do, comp orange '04 Cobra, hugger orange Z, green F-250 & I really need to do my whole SS. The PC was my best purchase in a long time!
