Neither are abrasive, and so aren't polishes...
Menzerna products for me, work them properly and you can reap the rewards, even by hand!

i agree! as much as it pains to buff by hand it makes you appreciate the outcome

yes i no there glazes. but i use them at the polish stage if no correction etc is required. also with little to no experience polishes in the wrong hands can have a worse finish if unsure on how to use etc!
the issue i find with polishes that they dont generally have the best affect when applied by hand as aposed to machine, that's why i use black hole etc, other wise super resin generally is quite a good polish.
i use menzerna when doing cars with machine but i find them much longer by hand than other products to reap rewards
sorry for the confusion on my part!
