nice mate, very very nice!! But why mask off the badges? Wax won't do any harm to chrome plated badges or headlights and some bumper trim should fetch off any wax that you do get on the plastic.
 
When you using a PC, Polish can go everywhere 10mins masking up can save 40 mins getting polish from all the nucks and cranies / rewashing the car again.
 
Thanks for all your comments.

I used poorboys Super Swirl Remover 2.5 to remove swirl marks and scratches then a lighter polish used to rectify hazing from the swirl remover, Meguiars speed Glaze #80 was then used. I then topped off with meguiars yellow tech wax #26.
