Not knowing what flavor of Meguiars you're using, basically you polish once, wax as many times as you want to. Most polishes are cleaners and remove what was there previously, so multiple polishing isn't going to get you anywhere unless you are trying to clean a specific area. This is where you may need more elbow grease.

Waxing should be an easy job. Just apply it and wipe off. With most waxes you can apply layers, and doing this makes the shine deeper, but again, it depends on what you are using as a wax.

Good Luck
