Ok I hear these terms mixed up all the time
the way i know it is
polishing a car sands down part of the clear coat and its an actual physical change which makes it look nicer
Waxing is a store bought product that you put onto the paint of the car which fills in the micro gaps and gives it a smoother look, like washing a car its temporary unlike polishing
and buffing, i think is like polishing for a section? not sure..
I have a 12 year old car and need it looking amazing, im willing to a pay a shiny penny, so Im thinking of taking it to a Professional and have it fully polished.
input?

You are right, these terms are used interchanably and most people don't really understand what they mean.
Polishing is the act of improving the paint appearance by using products that abrade the paint to remove below surface defects, resulting in enhanced gloss. This is where the hard work in making paint look great comes from. This step could require the use of several types of polishes to correct paint defects like swirl marks, oxidation, light scratches and scuffs, and general paint dullness. Polishing can be done by hand or machine.
Buffing is the act of using a machine polisher to polish the paint, as described above. Buffers can be direct drive (circular) or orbital in action. Buffing pads are made of blended wool or foam.
Waxing is the act of applying a protective coating to the paint to bring out the maximum gloss and protect the polished paint. Most waxes are beauty and protective only, they do not polish the paint. Some waxes called cleaner waxes provide a light amount of paint polishing action.
So... to get your paint looking its best, it needs to be polished first, either by hand or machine, then waxed for protection.

how do you buff a diamond?
Daisy
I have this huge fake diamond and I want to make it shine. How do I buff a diamond that is that size of an adult hand. What do I use to buff or shine it. I want to make my pet diamond happy. P.S. His name is bob. P.P.S. I like pie.
Answer
first, the " buff" is not the professional ( or correct ) tool to polish diamonds, we always use a tang to hold diamonds can cut it on scaife.( i can let u know how to cut diamonds if u want to know , because i m owning one diamond jewelry company here in china, i have 18 years experiences in diamond cutting ).
u could not make fake diamond the same brilliant as natural diamonds due to different characters. i m sorry to say that.
