I have been detailing the car over 3-4 weeks and driving it in between that as it's my daily drive. So, I'm washing the car before I polish a new panel as it will be dirty since I'm using the car.... I've only decontaminated the car once using clay bar etc. So, all I'm doing is giving the car a quick wash before polishing. And once I've polished it, I top it up with wax immediately for next time to make the cleaning process easier. Not sure what I'm doing wrong there, if anything....

Preperation is key. Completely pointless applying any sealant or wax to a car that hasn't been properly prepped for the process.
To do a full external prep and correction you're talking two days of work. If you mess up any of the stages or cut corners the result will be poor and you'll be disappointed. Dont do it in the sun either, especially sealant as that will set real hard |
