Where as I apply about 15 coats of wax for first release, do I need do another 15 if I re pollish after the first realese?

Sounds like a small degree of cross linking occurred. This should occur less as you use the mould more. Polish it up again and redo the wax; when using wax you should reapply it with every pull anyway.

As title says really. After polishing the mould to hight gloss shine. Then waxing several times ready for the first part to be layed up. I use a polyester gel coat. 

The first part come out of the mould ok but my new shiney new mould is now dull? 

I don't want to pollish again or I will have to go through the coats of realese wax again. 

Any help thanks.
