Congrats on your new ride IV, wear it in good health.
In the "payin' attention department:First n' foremost keep a short leash on yourself until you n' your new ride have had some miles (quite a few) pass under your butt. Pilotin' Stewie certainly ain't like drivin' your everyday normal transportation n' that requires some gettin' used to. When cornerin' hard there's a tendency to have the back end play loose if there's anything that might upset your attitude durin' said corner. Jus' so ya know that it's there.
N' then there's the stupid "Stewie grin" that comes on you without you realizin' it. It'll have friends n' neighbors lookin' at'cha suspiciously.
As for the top, everybody's got their favorite, n' as long as you treat it with somethin', you're doin' better than not treatin' it at all. I've personally tried ArmorAll n' 309, well 30 somethin' anyway. 'Never can get that right. 'Found 'em both about the same. Also found RaggTopp which is now my first choice.
As for the plastic rear window: there're a number of plastic polishes out there that will eliminate most, if not all of the fogging. The yellowin's another matter. The plastic is breakin' down into it's chemical components as it ages. 'Similar to metal work-hardenin'. Meguires r' Mothers will remove the fogginess for a while, but to keep it clear once it starts hazin' you're gonna godda stay on top of it.
So, again: best of luck with it IV.
Be well.
