Nice ride, for anyone curious about Rokkors, I personally love them and are not as bouncy as people make them out to be. The only time they are uncomfortable are over certain speed bumps (not all are bad IMO), potholes with a big gap between it and the road, and road level changes that are major. Either way, I'd sacrifice that for the looks and improvement of handling any day.

^Thats a great question. I will do my best to answer.
In terms of washing the car, I recommend anything with tons of suds. Suds will help create a barrier between the wash mitt and car to help prevent the addition of more swirls to the paint while cleaning it. I personally do a foam wash prior to washing the car with the mitt and soap. I also utilize the two-bucket wash method to help reduce the chance of swirls.
Polishing the car now will require a complete clay of the car. After claying, I test a small area to see how much work or which polishes I need to use to get the best results. I start with the least agressive polish and work my way up til I achieve the desired results. After polishing the car, I use a carnuba wax to seal everything in.
From a brand standpoint, I have used Meguiars, Pinnacle, Wolfgang and currently using only Adams products. I highly recommend the Adams from a value standpoint and customer service.
Hopefully that gives you some insight, if you need more, let me know or go to Adamspolishes.com and they have instructional videos too.

^yeah, read up on other forums about the Federals. Was going to go with the 215 but opted 205. I contemplated going a little smaller but wasnt ballsy enough for that...yet LOL.
