The NXT thread got me thinking....
What is the proper detailer's definition of a cleaner and a polish when it comes to paint? Maybe its just me but it seems that these 2 terms are used very loosely.
I have seen the term cleaner used for compounds and waxes and I have seen the term polish used for compounds and glazes. Obviously compound cuts, glaze fills and wax most often fills as well.

These terms are pretty clear to me and I am probably being too anal but for a novice, when someone tells them "you need to polish" it can be interpretted in 2 ways. Level the paint by 1. cutting with the use of an abrassive or by 2. filling with a glaze.

Btw... this thread was not for me but for the beginners that are scratching their heads thinking what are these people talking about?!?!?

Yeah... I have too much time on my hands. Slow at work today :)
