Since it is a VERY common question that I run into, figured I will show the answer in pictures.
Question being: What is the difference between polishing and waxing? Aren't they the same thing?
Answer being: No. Polishing actually (depending on what polish you use) burnishes the clearcoat, to remove swirls/oxidation/light scratches/spider webbing/rids. The wax is just a renewable protectant. These pictures show the difference between a non-polished and polished surface of the same car I did today.

Non-polished.


Polished, wax won't do this alone.

I just had most of the car repainted this past spring, but there are some blemishes here and there that will need some attention. Also the driver side door and rear quarter weren't repainted but buffed out nice and matched all of the new paint. Still looks pretty good, but it's gonna need some work after winter lol

I'm more than well equipped for that kind of job.

Looks awesome man, if my car had a clear coat, I'd say go to town, but I'd owe you some pads if you did my car. After a repaint someday tho.
