i really would not advise that. not good for clear coat. did u @least use 2000 grit?
the best thing to do before waxing is to claybar. most other methods are too aggressive.

Hey a Connecticuter local.... You're in the heart of the east coast Bonne country.... 
The car looks good! You should keep an eye open on e-bay for a set of SSE/SSEi tails or tint the ones you have.

Properly wetsanding will do the same thing as an abrassive and a polishing pad.
