Default First time with the new PC

First time showing my car on here... Heres some pictures of it before and after the polish I gave it yesterday. I used the PC with meguiars #83, #80, NXT. It turned out awesome. But today my sail panel has a **** pile of bubbles! Today it sat in the sun for about 2 hours. Its otherwise always in the garage. I dont know if that would be related to polishing it, but it looks shitty. Anyways...
Top pics are before polish, Bottom pics are after.

Thats a big improvement. It looks like you still have some micro marring left, maybe it needed another pass with #80. Were the pictures before or after waxing?

Thanks guys.
The top pictures are all after I washed it, but bufore any polishing. (lots of swirls)
The bottom ones are after all 3 steps.
It could have used a little more time with the #80. But it was my first time and it was taking to long, so I might have rushed a bit.
Otherwise Im really impressed.
