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.

     Sounds like a small degree of cross linking occurred. This should occur less as you use the mould...

             Where as I apply about 15 coats of wax for first release, do I need do another 15 if I re pollish...

     I would do it for the first 3-5 pulls.
