I used Griot's garage premium wax and did not use the orbiter.

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

That's pretty much it. I used Griot's garage car wash first and then I used Griot's garage "Best of Show" wax.

Earlier in the summer, I used Griot's garage clay and Griot's garage machine polish #3 and same wax. I have treated it with Griot's garage "Speed Shine" between washes and it has retained that luster all summer long. The polish did a great job of removing swirls and I still don't have any swirls since then.
