I am new and not sure about the diff between polishing and waxing.
Will polishing cuts away the laquer? esp for metalic cars.
Can we do the polishing ourselevs or are special tools required?

What will happen if you dont polish? ie wash n wax only.

Thanx!

Polishing can be a confusing term, some brand use the polish with different
meaning

Generally polishes have abrasives are meant for removing swirls, scratches
etc. (Take note zaino's polish is actually equivalent to sealant)

Waxing is giving your car depth, wet look etc
