else referenced. I sometimes leave the top down and just cover the car with the pop top as it does a good job of keeping the interior cool. The car gets waxed at least monthly during the warmer months with carnauba and a paint sealant type of wax (3M). The leather and vinyl get conditioned with lexol and vinylex periodically as well. When I get the chance, (I work down town) I park in the afternoon shadow of the taller buildings around me so the car stays cool. I have a porsche cover for the car but rarely use it, especially away from the house as it has the logo printed on it and I figure it might get stolen or cause the car to be vandalized for whatever reason.
