99 Civic Si that has been parked in the garage since September 07. Going back on the road next week.
For the past 4 years, it's seen about 2k miles per year in fair weather. Always garaged.
A couple of years ago, I gave it a clay/meg #9/Meg #7/Mother's Liquid Pure Carnauba.
Maintained it w/ Meg QD. After each wash. I wash it once a week when it's on the road.
When it's being stored, I don't start it. It's next to impossible to roll it in/out of the garage without it running. I'll dust it off w/ a California Duster and Give it a once-over w/ Meg QD once a month--more often during pollen season.
Finish is still gorgeous. I just buffed out the gelcoat on the carbon fiber hood this afternoon w/ some 3M compound (w/ a Ryobi orbital and a foam pad) and followed with a coat of Mother's Carnauba Cleaner Wax. (sure that isn't up to Autopia standards, but that Mother's one-step is a fantastic product that puts on a very even shine, IMHO).
