Question about time between washing and waxing
So I washed, clay bar, compounded, and polished my car. Then was not able to get wax on it for about a week. It has been in my garage and now had dust on it. I used some micro fiber cloths and some quick detailer and its clean again, but am I good to apply sealant/wax now? Or should I wash the car again before I do this. Just dunno if the dust that was on the car can cause any types of problem before waxing.

The dust shouldn't be a problem at all, however, to really get a clean surface, a practically perfect surface for wax/sealant to adhere to,
I use and recommend something like CarPro Eraser. Eraser removes any oils left over from your detail spray you used to remove the dust, as well as any oils left over from your compound/polish. Plus, it smells really, really nice. I like to use it sometimes for cleaning windows too.

Alternatively, you can use an IPA wipe (isopropyl alcohol and water mixture)
