Best way to clean Wrapped BMW 4 series convertible

I have a 4 series convertible, which I absolutely love (apart from the colour, but it was the only one with the spec I wanted!) so I decided to get it wrapped - I just love the result.....
Question now is, how to I keep it looking like this? I have been told to use PH neutral shampoo and no wax....any other tips?

Can't comment on the best way to preserve the wrap, but could you please share a few more pictures of the car? Especially outside at side profile. I have a Black Sapphire Metallic E93 335i convertible and am thinking about wrapping it as well (in British Racing Green), and I thought about keeping the roof black to mimic a soft top convertible and to avoid messing with the folding roof.

What has the shop that did the work, or perhaps the manufacturer of the wrap, recommended?

roof - carbon black

HI there
have attached a few more photos - I wanted to do the roof a different colour, and works really well x
photo attached is body in colour, and roof in original grey, with two samples for me to choose from. might give you an idea of how original will look - good luck
