Firstly - try to finish of any external mods you may have in mind - no good having to do things twice. Then book your RRS in for a full detail - go the whole hog Whistle then invest in some quality kit to keep on top of the finish - we all have our favourite products & manufactures but in my experience invest in quality which unfortunately means £££££ Big Cry .
Mine was detailed & it looked the dogs Censored - since then I've kept up the finish with regular cleaning - snow foam - lambs wool mitts - NO SPONGES - 2 bucket wash method - a large Dodo Juice towel for drying & a quick detailing spray to give a little shine & remove any contaminants i may have missed .I brought the wife a new VW last month & slagged off the pre delivery cleaning it was covered in swirls Evil or Very Mad I made them take it back & do it again.
Good luck - my RRS is nearly 8 years old ( see gallery ) not a swirl in sight Thumbs Up 16MY Estoril Blue SVR.............
