Using car polish on your car reduces many defects in your car that you can see. It also makes your car look as good as new. Polishing can be done by hand or by machine. Though machines are much less time consuming, hands can offer detailed car polishing work.
The primary goal of a wax is to protect the top layers of paint that contain UV-protection agents from the paint manufacture. If you wash and wax your car regularly, your paint will be protected and you should suffer no major UV damage over the normal course of the life of the car.
