Another note:

I worked at a car wash/detail center all through high school and one of the biggest rip-off products out there is Armor-All. DO NOT Armor-All your tires or any exterior black plastic (I'm not referring to their interior protection products, just the products that make things shiny). It works by pulling additional hydrocarbons to the surface to make the rubber/plastic glisten, but over time all it does is dry the material out so that your tires will crack or your plastic will fade.

As far as orbitals, they're nice but I personally don't think they yield as good results as a hand wax. I'd also opt for a liquid over paste. I'm using a liquid Mequiar's right now that makes my Stang look showroom-new.
