You'll want to go to foosball.com and get some new foosballs, the orange ones. The Fooslight is a good idea too!
Clean the surface and sides of your table with glass cleaner, use silicone on the rods but use it sparingly so it does not drip down the outside of the cabinet. Doesn't hurt the cabinet but it's mess to clean up.
You might want to take out all of the bearings and soak them in a sink full of hot water. Use dishwashing liquid to remove the grime. Try to keep track of which bearings line up with their current counterparts so you can put them back matched. The wear patterns will line up and be matched that way.
Taking the side rails off is a tricky matter and you need to search the internet to get ideas on how to do it carefully.
Congrats!

Dave -
get all your equipment from tornadofoosball.com. Charles McCintosh is the guy when getting tornado parts. You may want to consider the full t3000 upgrade if your tornado is not a t3000. What does it look like? That way you can know what model you have. The upgrade kit is right around 200 dollars. That gives you all new men, bearings, balls, and handles. Good Luck with the table and enjoy.
