Toneau cover...... why didn't I think of that.

I only wash mine when the sun is out to help dry what water gets inside.

Actually...after washing it a couple of times and cussing to my wife what a pain in the butt it is to keep the water out of the cockpit, she suggested that i open the boot and take out that "cover thingy" and snap it on. But, the shamwow idea is all mine.

I go over it with the car duster, then quick detailer with micro-fiber cloth.
I did wash a few times early on but that was more of a PITA because of water spots on the under hood aluminum. Had to go back and polish that again. Double work..

This is exactly what I do!!!! I don't have aluminum but this is what I do with my black Shelby Mustang 'vert too. It worked so well on the Mustang that I've just carried over to the Cobra.

There are some "dry wash" products that I might try.

I use wide blue painters tape to dam off the cockpit. Let it stick up about an inch or so. Doesn't stop all the water,but most.
