I'm new to this whole thing but after reading the forums and asking questions I got a PC, some LC pads, Pinnacle clay bar, meguiars 205 and Wolfgang sealant. It had a lot of swirl marks even thought it is new. I clayed it, used the meguiars M205 with an orange pad, then put on the wolfgang with a blue pad. I was surprised how easy it was. The PC is nice but I ordered the Flex too.. will use that on the wife's car next. The PC vibrates alot at speed 6. Also I find it hard to hold on to.

Step it down. Use your 205 with a white or gray pad after the orange. It will shine even better. You may not see it, but that orange pad leaves marring behind, and will slightly dull the paint.
 
On Honda's soft clear you will have better luck using a white pad opposed to an orange one, nice results nonetheless

Looks real nice. Have you ever used anything easier than Wolfgang? That stuff is on and off real easy and looks great to boot.

Think it is ok to let it go like it is now since I already applied the sealer? Next time around I can use the white pad.. I had started with the white pad but it was taking too long.
 
Sure its ok. The only reason I mentioned using a white pad was that you will reduce the marring associated with an orange pad.
 
it's funny how the feeling of a new car is sooo great but then you invest a little cash and make it look even better than the day you got it.

great job.
