Looking good, what Meguiar's polish did you buy?

Meguiar's No. 16 Paste wax is the one to go for when you get the wax.

The Meguiars 3 step is ok when I've used it and good value for the money, but I'd suggest not using the 3rd step wax, but getting a better wax as the 3 step has very little carnuba in it.

Don't get me wrong, for the money step 3 is sound and I've used it with good results, but for a bit more cash there are better products out there.

You only really need to polish once every 4-6 months. Waxing depends on what wax you buy but normally wax every 2-3 months.

Once you've done all the hard work of wax and polish all you should need to do for a while is wash and wipe to bring it back up. Then you could also use a bit of speed detailer to top up the wax finish.
