What compound's are you using? I personally like 3M Perfect it, Finesse it and Finish polish. Have a hard time getting a reflection like that on my Rally yellow, but you can shave using the mirror you created

The 3M products you mentioned, are what I use as well most of the time. This particular detail, I used dish-soap to strip the previous coat of wax, then used Meguiars swirl remover 2.0, then simply waxed it with some Eagle paste wax. The porter cable made the results pretty stunning even w/ the "lower" grade detail products I used this time around.

Oh no, you definitely don't want to use dish soap as your frequent car soap. It can be harmful to the clear coat and paint if used instead of specified car-wash soap. I only use dish soap when I am going to completely re-detail the car because it does a good job of stripping the wax off the car for a "fresh start". After I detail it, I'll just wax it once a week for a few months then repeat the detail process.
