Looks good...

You could have got away without doing the cleaner wax...The NXT is a sealant with cleaners in it...

yes sir i have quick question about cleaning brake calipers as you can see they are very dirty on the above pics.... is there any affordable way to clean them so they look silver again? i was thinking of rubbing them with a brush.... also i will be washing the car in few days as it's almost 2 months i haven't washed the car. should i wax it again or not? i was planning to put meguiars ultimate quick spray wax that i got with the clay bar kit?

quick update after 3 months under harsh sunny/rainy days and always under sky. nxt tech wax/cleaner wax is holding up pretty well.... i aslo washed the car about 4-5 times and it rained 4-5 times too.... here are some pics of water beading....i also used nxt tech wax on windshield, rear glass and sunroof and it's beading water very well... i used clearner wax on those areas before but i stopped beading water after couple rain showers and car washes!!
