Topless motoring is motoring at it's best!
A few ideas:
Dry lube once in a while for the scissor joints.
303 or Ragg Topp for the canvas.
A vacuum with upholstery brush works OK for getting dust off the back so you can run it down. I don't like the idea of dust and grit cutting the fiber as the canvas folds.
If you didn't get one with it don't stop hunting till you find a wind deflector.
If it's not raining, snowing or idiots throwing empty beer cans in the back seat, there's no reason for the top to be up.
Also, look into MINIs In The Ozarks this October. http://www.ozarkmini.com/

That canvas thingie isn't where it's supposed to be!
Cover the fuse box and electrical connections and just spritz a spray with a little simple green or dawn detergent then work around everything with a microfiber detailing wand. DO NOT run your baby thru a car wash. Car washes are for things like dodge caravans and jeep patriots, appliances nobody really cares what happens to 'em.

" That canvas thingie isn't where it's supposed to be! " Ah, the top is up and its should be in the down position, especially on a nice day.
