Which Griot's orbital? Electric or air?
I may want to try this stuff on my GF which has slightly oxidized paint. It looked great after a polish and wax, but the wax doesn't last as well on the older paint and I don't tend to wax that one as much. Something like this might do the trick...

Carnauba wax only lasts a month. Synthetic wax will last 3-6mos.
An inexpensive wax that I use and lasts long is Collinite 845

Griot's Best of show on the WRX and it lasts pretty well, but used Meguiar's Hi-Tech Yellow on the GF lasts no more than 2 months. Not too fond of synthetics because I've tried a few and was never impressed with any. Plus, I love the deep shine of carnauba, but not the applying, removing and frequent re-application.

The GF is dark green. WRX is PSM. I started using Hi-Tech yellow years ago because I like that it doesn't dust too bad and doesn't leave a lot of residue, but it just doesn't last.
