Be very careful on the advice you get from this forum. You're in Florida with high humid temps and salt air, most on this forum do not work under those constraints.
Shrink wrapping something in Florida I would think would be the kiss of death. When I was down in Florida I was taught to run the engine to temp once a month and shift thru the gears.
