So can you explain how to do the cleaning of my car?
As per my understanding of suggestions i am using the following steps.
1) Wash the car using shampoo using a microfiber towel. Then use wax polish to wax the car. Do this only during rainy season when car gets very dirty.
2) Use quick detailer along with Duster to give the car a polished look. Apply wax once a month if polish fades away. To be done only in non rainy season.
3) Clean dashboard with natural Shine Protectant during regular intervals to prevent the dashboard from fading.
Please correct me if i am wrong.

Sorry, if I have confused you. You can wash your car even when it is non rainy season, if it is really dirty. In case you do wash, use a good shampoo and MF towels. Once dried, you can wipe it down with a detailer spray for that just polished look or even the quick wax spray. For a new car that is looked after well, waxing need be done once in 3 months or so, unless you are parking in the hot sun, when you may have to wax more frequently.
When it is raining and the car is wet and dirty, you cannot use the duster and you may have to resort to washing with a shampoo or ONR. How often will depend on how dirty the car is.
Don't be over-enthusiastic with waxing. Apply a very thin layer, if you are using a paste Carnuba wax, using a applicator pad, let it haze and then wipe it down with MF towels. The secret is to get a thin film of wax and wipe it down well. Too thick a layer will make it difficult to get the residue removed and may need more effort.

. It's yearly service right?(Once a year i guess) Isn't it a bit on the higher side?
