What a buff and polish does

Swirl marks are the fine circular scratches you see in sunlight, usually from automatic brushes or dirty towels. Water spots are minerals etched into the clear coat. Both live in the top layer of the paint, and a machine polish takes that layer down just enough to remove them. The car is washed, clayed, then polished panel by panel with a dual action machine and finished with wax to protect the fresh surface.

Once a year, or whenever the paint looks hazy in the sun.

They are similar. The exterior detail is the same process with a Meguiar's wax seal and is the one most people book. If you only care about the paint correction, buff and polish is the focused version.
