Wax Choice -- Black X5

I have had my 2011 black X5D for 10 months now and it is due for a wax. I always have it hand washed but there are still minimal swirls. What is a good wax that will make my black look showroom new again and get rid of the swirls?

Check my post on paint sealant, you won't ever mess with wax again!

The less you touch....the less you have swirls and such. Not automated car washes, rinse your sponge/mit in a rinse bucket...

I've never heard of Zaino. I use turtle wax and Mothers wheel and tire dressing. I've never been overly impressed. No matter how much I buff I still have swirls and foggy spots.
