Waxing, polishing and detailing

freakass SG

Can anyone tell me the difference between waxing, polishing and detailing?

Theatre Of Dreams SG

if i'm not wrong...

waxing - applying a layer of wax to create gloss

polishing - smoothing the paint surface by removing unwanted particles which may not be seen by the naked eye. the smoother the surface, the shinier it is.

detailing - applying decals etc

err...

i think..

process of making a car shine is..

1. dusting/rinse -> remove small fine particles using water or a duster that will rub against ur car's body if u shampoo..

2. shampoo -> remove stubborn stains such as tar/water stains/bird shit

3. wax -> to give the car a layer of protection..

4. polish -> to make the car look shiny after step 1 2 3..

What i think

Waxing- Using a layer or oil, wax, slicion coating on the car paint's so as to give your car body a smooth feeling when touch at . After waxing, when car is dirty again, more easy to wash. Wax stays long.

Polishing- Cleaning the car till it looks super shiny that it can blind someone eyes driving, remove microscopic dirt and stubborn grinds/ dirts.

Detailing- ??
