Default Re: Car wax & car polish

Car polishing happens before the wax job. The polish takes off contaminents and dead paint. Some will clay bar the car before polishing to get even a better looking shine. There are different grits of polish to use depending upon the condition and type of the paint or clearcoat. It is rated much like sandpaper.
Wax is a sealant which is of course applied after the polishing is completed. It is the protective layer between the elements and your car's paint. This is just a quick explanation. Google "car polish" for professional explanation.
