I always imagined that cars were a means of transport not ornaments !
I used mine all through last winter and intend to this year . I will give it a good polish and spray bits with ACF50 .Last night I cleaned the leather and gave it a coat of Renapur .
I really don't think mine deteriorated much despite being coated in salt on numerous occasions .
Not using cars doesn't do them any good either ...
Wear plenty of clothes and go for it !
