Tech Wax is a wax with some sealant, it has no polishing abilities.

If polishing by hand, try AG Ultra Deep Shine to help mask swirls, or something with a little more cut, like Clearkote Vanilla Moose Glaze (confusing name, but it is a polish, not a glaze.)

If you want to wetten the shine, glaze the car after polishing. This will then need to be sealed. If you're pushing the boat out, you can then wax.

are you using a microfibre to polish off with?

often people complain of too much dust cos they use a towel that just pushes the polish around, as apposed to a microfibre that lifts it from the surface.

you can tell this cos you need one cloth to poilsh off a car, with dust, wheras i usually need 2 or 3 clean microfibres to polish off, as it picks up all the residue, then you can just chuck em in the wash

also tech wax is very good, i'm trying to find a good post polish, to use after

Yes - always use a microfibre as they're also much kinder to the paint.

Short nap for removing machine worked polishes.

Medium nap for removing hand polishes.

Deep nap for waxes.

Sometimes ( a lot of the time lol ) too much dusting is caused by people applying the product too thickly by hand.
