Waxing mainly refers to adding a layer of carnauba wax to increase shine and protect the paint. Polishing (a.k.a Buffing) is using chemical and/or abrasive polishes to reduce scratches, remove oxidation, remove swirl marks, and improve the appearance of the finish. Hand polishing is possible but machine polishing is 10x more effective and faster.
