I have 94 white camaro I wax it once a month and wash it once or twice a week. It has some swirl marks and small scratches from previous owner. I wax and wash what else can I do for the paint I'm not sure.

Today there is a lot of confusion about the difference between a polish and a wax. Many manufacturers are marketing waxes as "polishes" and the terms have become almost interchangeable.

A polish is more like a paint conditioner that eliminates fine scratches and creates a high gloss not possible with waxes. An application of a pure polish should be followed by waxing to protect the shine and extend its life.

You can also clay bar it to get out any inbedded dirt and other stuff in the paint. Make it slick as glass.

Keep in mind that Zaino "polish" does NOT contain ANY abrasives in it.
