mine is still going strong despite having it a year and running out of quik detailer (the lube you use)
basically, you shouldn't need to wash after using it unless you've left loads of clay on........ in which case you haven't used enough quik detailer...... in which case you will risk scratching your paint work!
should be:
wash
dry
clay
paint cleaner
polish
wax
although the last 3 is up to what you want, you could just use like nxt tech wax, or cleaner wax, or resin polish etc

and for you lot saying you polish before wax, stop drinking!
polish in most cases takes of a very small amount of lacquer (smooths it, and reduced contaminants/oxidation... which gives the colour)
wax is a sealant, used to protect the paint.
so you'll be waxing, then removing the wax with the polish, ie. the polish won't get to the lacquer/paint to do what its supposed to do, and there will be no wax to protect the paintwork, so it'll dry and fade quicker
