Try calcarcover.com or ************************ for a cover. For a soft top cleaner go to emmonscoachworks.com. Check out the Zymol "Fabrique". Or wolfsteins.com. Avoid car washes, get to know your car, hand wash it.

I NEVER take the car to a commercial car wash....The ONLY way to wash is by hand, and the best way to care for the top. I do use car wash on the top that's specifically designed for that use, but quite sparingly as water usually takes care of any residual dust.

Have you check out the dealer for the car cover? I just bought one for mine and it is actually cheaper than buying from calcarcover.com and performance products.com.

The hardest part about choosing a car cover is degree of protection. Are you going to use it strictly as a dust cover in the garage, UV protection while parked in sunlight, or weather protection if it's always parked outside (hope not)...

Each type of cover has different materials, and vary greatly in price as a result, with the all-weather protection covers being the most expensive.
