Oh my goodness that looks amazing! No one can reasonably question a process with results like that! I assume you buffed after the wet sand? [you must have!]
As for pics, I have taken multiple pics with the camera set at the same resolution, and some have uploaded while others would not. I guess it has to do with how much actual info is in the picture [detail?]. It's weird, that's for sure....:)
[edit] How do you deal with the badge/grommet whilst wet sanding? i.e. getting in close enough but not sanding the badge...
