Default Knowing the difference between waxing and polishing

At Autoglym, we often get asked questions such as ‘what is the difference between wax and polishing’ and ‘should I wax or polish first’, as most people get confused and have a misconception between the two processes. So we are here to explain the difference.

The difference between them is that a polish is an abrasive compound that removes light scratches, hazing and oxidization. Whereas wax is a barrier created between your car’s paint and the environment to protect it from contamination, UV lights and help give your car a glossy shine. Wax is applied after polish.
