Not trying to be a dick, but you DID ask.

It'll look like that again in around 2-3 weeks. Looks like the clear was gone in places, and while you might've shined up the underlying color coat, it'll never look like that for long. Plus, once red starts to fade and turn pink, there's really very little you can do unless you want to wax it every week. And waxing it every week, you'll eventually burn through what little clear is actually left. Again, not trying to rain on your parade, but you did ask.

Yes it might not be a new paint job with clear coat, and it might not last long like that, but I gotta say it looks a LOT better than it did.

Nice job.
