Jerry,



Some may disagree, but I believe the following is generally accepted:



    *  Do not use ArmorAll.  It is water-soluble, and will run down onto

       your paint.

    *  You can safely use Meguiars Intensive Protectant.  It will dry

       overnight, and will not run.  It works for me.  Keeps the top

       glossy and new-looking.

    *  I would not use baby oil applied directly.  I think I recall that

       some use a few drops of baby oil in their wash water.  I think

       that is unnecessary if you use Meguiars Wash Gel.



I have no connection with Meguiars, but I am a strong believer in their

products, and use them almost exclusively.  The only Meguiars product

that doesn't work for me is their wheel cleaner.
