Help with 2009 335 sedan

I have a 2009 335 Xdrive sedan and I want to just make my paint shine and maybe just remove some light swirls.
At the same time am not trying to ruin my paint, which is black sapphire


Should I Polish or wax my car ?
And what is the difference between the two ?

It wounds like your not into detailing your vehicle. Im no pro but i would Klasse AI0. Thats only because you dont want to go throught the steps. I reccommend you also post pics of your car so we can how bad the damage is.

polish: you are removing a small (very small) coat of clear coat to get an even coat all around (no scratches, swirls or holograms) the paint should be sealed and or waxed after this. a polish is correcting any flaws in the paint!

wax: is just a product that goes on top of the clear coat to HIDE NOT CORRECT imperfections in the clear coat, also gives you a wet look to the paint.

ps: Black Saphire is one of the best looking paints when PROPERLY polished.
