My gf's scooby was in pretty bad shape with scratches and water spots after about 5 years of ownership, so I really spent some quality time on it with some cutting compound, polish and wax. Only polished and waxed my car though and threw on her summers ;)

You should have also clay bar the cars. You'd be surprised how many contaminants get into your paint, even with new cars like your 8

Yup, huge fan of claybars. I had already claybarred my gf's scooby before using the cutting compound. Definitely a must do.
