Polish Vs Wax

A lot people asking me these questions:

- what is polish?
- what is wax?
- are they same?
- which one better?
- when do i need to polish / wax?
- etc....etc....

OK. Many people confuse between polish and wax. Anyway, I found a website that provides you the overview the meaning for both.

IT'S ..... WIKIPEDIA. The website as follow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_detailing

So, I'm not going to discuss abt them here to save time and avoid plagiarism. hehe.....*lazy to copy and paste.

So, now you guys know what is polish and wax. Next question: When do i need to polish my car? The answer is quite subjective though. Some people waiting for their car full of scratches / swirl mark /water marks or paint become dull before deciding to polish. But I really don't encourage that way. Its because the scratches / watermarks will accumulating and cause oxidation and rusting to the paint. It maybe too late for for polish to eliminate them but repaint job taking over. So, my advice for the polishing job is 3 to 6 months. Of course its depending on your car condition. Some people may require to polish every 2 or 3 months because of heavy usage (due to on the road scratches /car wash) while some people rarely use their car which does not even need to polish their car in 1 year. To me, the rules of thumb to polish is you may need to polish them when you see the scratches / swirl mark / watermarks accumulating to the level that you want them to look as NEW. :)

For waxing, my advice is every 1 - 3 months. The purpose of wax is to protect your paint and keep it from forming "Oxidation". Besides, it can restore your car's color from becoming dull.

I think thats all for now. CYA
