Default Waxing

Has anyone simply washed their vette, followed by claying, Meguire's Scratch X and finished up with a coat or two of the NXT?

Did you find that you really needed to buff with the obiter? How did your finish look before you decided to buff?

I'm not sure if the orbiter is necessary.
But I believe it does make a difference.
