yes dust was bad. there is no point polishing to much as will not have any extra effect when you have put on a couple of layers of your wax,that will do for a couple of months.depending on weather.but wash at least once a week with a good shampoo.dry then buiff up .you can use a qd wax spray to give it that little more,a good cover helps,and polishing in that heat is not to good try and do when panels are cooler.
