How to choose

Wash, polish and wax are three separate steps in a fixed order, and only one of them is abrasive. Shampoo / car wash — Lifts dirt. Does nothing to the paint itself. Polish, cutting compound, scratch and swirl remover — Mildly abrasive — it removes a little paint to level out a scratch. Use only where there is a mark to remove. Wax and sealant — A protective layer over the paint. Applied last, and it adds nothing if the surface underneath is still marked. Tar, insect and spot remover — A solvent for the specific deposit, used before washing. Spray paint, primer and enamel — Refinishing rather than cleaning — engine enamel, VHT and acrylic colours.

Where it is the wrong choice

Waxing over swirl marks seals them in. If the paint is marked, the abrasive step comes first — and once removed, paint does not come back, so start with the mildest product that works.
