The difference between a wax shine and diamond polishing is that diamond removes all of the fine scratches on a surface until it is completely smooth. The smoother a surface is the more reflection it will cause. It is the reverse of glass etching where smooth reflective glass has chemical or mechanical scratches placed in the surface to cause the light to not reflect back a result in a smokey or soft texture. On the other hand waxes fill scratches and shine enhancers simply reflect light.
