...between Waxing and Polishing?

If there is a difference, would it improve results to do both? If so, what order should you do it in to gain better results?

cheers

there is a difference and someone can explain it better than me.

polishing - takes out fine scratches in the lacquer if done correctly

waxing protects and provides the 'sparkle'

polish first then wax.

not much of a cleaning whore are ya mate lol :)

seriousley polishing is basically feeding the paint oils to enhance the gloss and depth of clarity.

waxing is adding a barrier on top of the polish to seal it in. i would personally use a sealant and then add the wax but the usual steps are:

clean
polish
wax

meg's do that 3-step thing in seperate bottles.
