Thanks. I wash using quality soap and plain water and with a special sponge for washing cars.
I've just bought some Mother's wax which looks great and may do the trick.

Could be a small part of the issue!
You definitely should be using a Microfibre or Lambswool Wash Mitt - Why? - simply because a sponge will drag any dirt over the surface and continue to do so until you rinse. Where a microfibre/or lambswool will capture any dirt into the center of the weave and avoid dragging it over the surface. The other issue as well is that a sponge is synthetic, the dirt sits on the surface always. This is the most common way to mar the paintwork.
This also is the same for a chamois. The synthetics are the worst, followed by the genuine 'skin' type ones as well. Same principle as above basically.
2 Buckets when you wash is another key factor - 1 for your pH Neutral Wash Shampoo and 1 for your fresh water to rinse, see here for more info
Sounds crazy, but this is the most comment way of damaging paintwork.
