No. Waxing is simply a protective element applied to the paint surface. While waxing often helps add shine to the paint, do not confuse it with buffing. Buffing is a paint correction process that uses a high-speed. rotary buffing machine. This process removes superficial scratches and blemishes and helps correct the fading of painted surfaces. The process begins with a cutting compound used to aggressively remove the damaged paint. After this, several polishing steps smooth and restore the paint to a high-gloss finish. This process is not typically used on newer vehicles, since polishing removes microscopic layers of paint. Instead, our full auto detailing service includes an application of wax or sealant with a dual-action machine, a safer, non-aggressive way to lightly polish and protect the paint without leaving swirl marks.
