Quickly a polish is what you do and use for paint preparation/correction, removing oxidation, swirls and scratches, a wax is used for protecting a well prepped paint much like a sealant from UV damage and other environmental contaminations but the latter being more longer lasting and durable, and lastly a glaze, is sort of a finishing/finessing polish but instead of removing slight swirls and imperfections, it hides them. The sticky threads in this forum are good info and so is this link http://autopia.org/forum/guide-detailing/
