You can add gloss to any car they only difference would be are there swirls and scratches in the paint. Now the corrected paint will always look better but that doesnt mean the un corrected paint wont be glossier.

Do you get what I am tring to say

I prefer the liquid. But I am no expert. I'm still young and have only learned things on my own by reading things online. But I like Turtle Wax liquid wax. Yeah it's cheaper, but for whatever reason that is what works best for me. Gives the shinest and smoothest finish. I have used Meguires, Mother's and Nu Finish, but I prefer the Turtle Wax. Like I said though, I am no expert and have a LOT to learn with detailing. I love doing it but don't know everything.

I use the spray wax between liquid waxes. Everytime I wash it, I spray wax it to help keep that smooth and shiny appreance between true wax job. Again Turtle Wax spray wax seems to work the best for me.

Is there any How To's on polishing? I would really like to try it sometime but don't really know how to go about doing it. I've never done it before.

My product is a wax. My next product I will be releasing will be a sealant, then a Hybrid. Along with a Auto Bathe, Tire Gel, and Trim Restore.

Fuzion you mean. That is a hybrid wax. Half sealant half wax. Which will last 2-4 months.

Wax will last 1-2 months

Sealant will last 4-6 months

Now depending where you live it could last longer or shorty.

I tested this wax on 3 vehicle in South Florida summer heat and rain. One White F550 (used as a work truck) barely ever washed. One Dark Grey Carolla, and my Truck. So far after 5 week the wax is still beading and sheeting water like it should.

Proper Steps
Wheels
Wash
Clay
Polish
Seal
Wax

You can apply a sealant or wax. If you want to do both apply the sealant first. Let it sit on the car for 45 minutes wipe off. Then wait 12 hours and apply your wax.
