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

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
