Not good at all for your paint to clean this excessively, polish should only be done once every few months!

Once a car is finished you should only need to wash every so often and top the wax up for a few weeks after then use QD.

A hosedown is fine. Washing increases risks of inflicting swirls. Polishing reduces the clearcoat. Eventually you will have no clearcoat.
