Definitions
Compounding: Removal of scratches or imperfections felt by hand (I.e. water spots, buffing swirl marks) by removal of a thin layer of dull paint caused by environmental exposure.
Polishing: Restoring the optical clarity (removing haziness) and bringing out the "WOW" in your paint. Removing spider webbing, fine surface scratches and imperfections.
Wax and Sealant: Wax adds a sacraficial layer on the paint surface to protect against exposure to environmental contamination. A sealant bonds to the paint to protect against exposure to environmental contamination. Both enhances your paint's "Wet" look and distinction of image (DOI).
