I detailed my car today and it looks good but I think it could look better. Can I get some suggestions on what products or tips that I can use to get it better?

Washed with Meg Gold Class
Clay with Clay Magic
Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
Deep Crystal Polish
Gold Class Wax

All Applied with a PC-DA

I am kind of new to detailing cars so any help you can give me would be great.

Looks good...I used these guys a few years back..Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner
Deep Crystal Polish,Gold Class Wax

The color seem to hide swirls and light scratches too...that helps....

My next upgrade was
Swirls remover product, Meguiars DACP, Klasse AIO , then 4 Stars UPP, or Poorboys EX

If I go the wax application

Meguiars DACP, Meguiars Machine Glaze, then I have 4 waxes i like
Souvran, Natty Wax, S100 and Mullet wax

I use my Rotary for the swirls and scratch remove'al and PC on other stages....hand application with my waxes

I agree that it looks good but since I am new to this I wanted to know if I could get better results using something besides off the shelf products. The car is shinny and has a good reflection but I would like it to look a little deeper and wetter (if that makes any sense). Could I get these results with applying more coats of Polish or Wax? Just a new guy looking for the best results, any help would be appreciated.

The products you used are perfectly fine, but if you want to take it a step higher, I hear the 4stars UPP looks very nice on that color, especially 2 or 3 coats. After that you could try one of the carnaubas suggested above.
 
I see what he needs help with...the wheelwells are still dirty :lmfao J/K the car looks great.
 
The wife bought me a ton of BLACK MAGIC TIRE WET. I hate the stuff, but she thought she was doing good. I didn't tell HER I don't like it, I just use it on my fenderwells...it makes them look better, and more importantly, it makes her happy to see me use what SHE bought.
 
Good job jones. A trick that I learned from the guys here is spraying tire foam or no-touch tire care , you know the foam you spray on the tires ? well use it inside the wheel well . Spray liberally and use some eye protection. The dirt just melts away ..
