First wash and wax

Just under 3 weeks with the car, I washed and waxed it for the first time

Very nice, it looks lovely.

As for my cars, they only get a good clean when getting serviced, or in for warranty work to be carried out.
In between, it’s just a cold jet wash to remove bird droppings, etc.

Looks really good. What products did you use?

I have an Electric Silver XC90.
No matter how much polish you use, it doesn't look much different than it does after a normal wash, so in effect it always looks good.
I suppose the wax helps stop so much muck building up, and it should protect against bird poo etc.
