once you polish the car do you leave it for a few hours then start the wax job?

yeah its fine to wax it straight after you have polished. The only time i wait is inbetween washing it and polishing/waxing it.

This is because it allows the water to get out of the seals all round the car and dry out fully. Its horrible when you get water in with your polish or wax.
