It looks real nice in the pic! But since it's a pic it's hard to tell since we can't move around and look at it from multiple angles. So you yourself should do that, focus on the reflection of the sun and the area around it with your eyes and move around the car and look at it from every angle and distance that you can. If you can't see any hazing or anything around the reflection of the sun, I'd say you are good to go! If you still see hazing, step down to a lighter finishing pad and go over it one more time using light pressure and then check it again.
Edit: I *think* I see a little hazing in one of the pics, but hard to tell. Give it a good looking over with what I said above and go from there. It's definitely getting there, if not already.

Thanks i dont see any scratches anymore, but i still have a dificult time recognising hazing. So i dont know if this is as good as it gets or i can get it better.

Then I'd say if you have or can get a finishing pad, do a quick 50/50 somewhere and see if you notice a difference. Then use your judgement to decide if there's a difference worth doing a full pass with the finishing pad. You should def notice a difference if there is hazing or anything in the 50/50 on the untouched side. Just use your judgement. If you are happy with the finish as it is now, then it's done.

That last pic you posted doesn't look like you fully wet sanded to a level finish. It should be a flat, uniform appearance after sanding. Unless I'm seeing something else...
In the end, as long as the finish looks good to you, that's all that matters. I had an e36 M3, Estoril Blue, and I only used the MF Pad and M105 on it, then slapped on some Poxy. Sure, there was some hazing, but unnoticeable to anyone but a detailer with a spot light. I actually only use M105 or D300 on the majority of all my clients because to them, that finish is a show car shine. They're not going to pay me to do the extra step of polishing because they won't really notice the difference and don't really care.
I did a full cut/polish my girlfriends car and she just thought I washed it...:tape: She didn't notice the difference at all. Whaaaaaaaaaatever. Last time I polish her car! Lol...
