R222 is a wax, so ideally you should apply a polish after claying follwed by the R222.
Generally its the polish that gives the shine, and a wax is applied over the top to protect it and retain the shine for longer.

Yep totally agree. Polish for shine, wax for protection. The more wax the more protection and the easier it is to wash, plus you get the lovely beading of the water.

Usual car washing for me anay way is:
Snow foam (depending on condition of car)
wash two bucket method
rinse
dry with drying towel or if claying i don't bother
if claying wash again
dry again with the drying towel
polish
wax
If you don't use your car leave it a couple of days as long as still clean and dust free and wax again to build up the layers.
