	I've been wondering about this too.

	

	My 1991 Crystal White sat in the garage 99% of the time that I had  

it, and it got dusty and occassionally things were leaned up against it.  It  

survived unscathed, but...  that was largely before there were kids... now I  

really want a buffer.. :-)

	

	

	I traded it for a new 97 Montego Blue (what an amazing color!) and  

I'd like to take the additional precaution.

	

	

	I found a WWW site with the information I was after, but now I can't  

recall where the heck it was.

	

	My criteria is that it should be fairly light, and machine  

wash/dry-able perhaps 2 or 3 times a year.  It'll never be left on the car  

outside in the rain.

	

	So what is the best way to go?
