Maintenance
What are the best products or methods that all of you guys use to keep the tops of your verts looking great and keeping watertight. Also if you have hte OEM thin spoke highpolish wheels, what maintenance method do you guys use to keep them gleaming and clean? Thanks ahead of time!

Haven't tried it yet since I just got my car last month, but I hear raves about Ragg Top for the water repellancy. I've got the same wheels you do and have been told to just use whatever wax you would use on the paint. Your wheels are clear coated. I just waxed mine the other day -- came out great. Check your spokes carefully for stress fractures. Seems to be a common problem on the rear wheels. I discovered both my rears have them and I'm going to try and get them replaced under warranty.

This is going to get moved to the car care forum but JMc is right on. Ragg Topp makes a great cleaner and protectant for the fabric top. And keeping a good coat of wax on your clear coated high polished aluminum rims will keep them looking pretty good and easy to clean the brake dust off.
