Reply With QuoteBasically, the term wax generally means that the product contains carnuba, while polishes generally don't. Both are intended to protect the finish from atmospheric conditions, and UV damage. On a boat such as yours, with it's age and a high percentage of paint, I wouldn't worry about it, but on a new boat, with a majority of white gelcoat, you want to avoid the use of carnuba because it will yellow the gel badly.
"glaze", generally speaking is a final shine type of product, that is usually water soluble, and provides that last little bit of killer shine on a surface that is already highly polished. It usually will disappear after it get's wet. Many glazes also contain a very very fine abrasive to aid in the removal of swirl marks.
Hope this answers your questions....
