Inge:
Technically speaking there is a large difference between a wax and a polish.
A polish does grind down the surface, and may or may not leave a coating behind.
A wax is primarily a coating, and often does little if any "grinding down" of the surface.
The thickness of any coating left by either wax or polish is going to be a function of not only composition of the wax/polish, but also how aggressive the mechanical polishing is.

Some polishes leave only a mono-molecular film of anti-tarnish.

Hi all and even Bev,

Assume that you polish a metal, in my case five 9s Ag. Polishes have at 
least two purposes. Grind the metal to get a certain level of brightness
(we 
polish to Ra 30 nanometers). And leave a thin coating that protects the 
metal. Now, in our case, what is left is so thin, that you can't observe
the 
'coating'.  Presumably because it's an organic compound of some sort,
and 
also because it's transparent for our eye's wavelength. Now comes the 
question:  has anyone out there ever investigated such a 'wax' and 
determined the thickness, and if so, what kind of equipment was used? 
That's why I more or less directed the q to Bev...
