is car polish the same as car wax?

can i use car wax on a buffer or do i "have" to have polish as it is a car polisher buffer. is car polish just another name for car wax?

Update:

to paul: when cleaning to a newish paint wouldnt the polisher have to go through the clear top coat to reach the paint? in a sense would i have to reapply (spray) a top clear coat?

    Plain wax is just a protectant you put on paint that is already glossy. Polish contains a cleaner to remove the dull, dried out paint that causes it to be dull looking.

The wax in a storage sprayer or motor vehicle wash is an exceedingly susceptible answer which will purely final for some days. the suitable motor vehicle wax on the marketplace is meguiars in spite of the undeniable fact that it expenses approx £15.00 a bottle.
