Question Wax or polish?

What's the advantage of polish over wax or vice versa?

Zymol is a wax and Zaino is a polish correct?

They are two different products. A fine hand polish will remove light swirl marks and clean your paint. A fine machine polish will remove swirl marks and light scratches. A heavier machine polish would be used for deep scratches and paint oxidation. A wax is used to protect your paint after cleaning/prepping. If you use polish, you must wax afterwards but not vice versa. Also, before you apply anything to you paint, you should always throughly wash and dry it, then clay it to remove contaminants from the surface.

IMO, the polishes of choice is pinnacle or 3M IHG and for the wax use pinnacle or blitz. However, it is necessary to use wax after Klasse because Klasse could impair the shine. All in my opinion of course.

I use klasse all-in-one followed by the sealant. No need to wax.
