My wife’s car just rolled 110k miles, and I rotated the tires yesterday. As I did so, I touched up a few tiny nicks on the wheels that nobody but me would ever notice. I’m big on keeping plastics looking new. I find it therapeutic, but it really helps with resale as well.
I get about a year out of a cover before it fades to the point that the material gets thin and it’s ready to be replaced. Cheap protection.
I think if one has the time and energy to keeping things nice looking, clean, well protected, then that's a very good thing. Sometimes I let my motorcycles go for awhile--especially my KLR650 because, well it's a KLR650--but everytime I clean it up, I'm reminded of something that ought to be done, or I find something loose that shouldn't be, it gives me a bit of peace of mind as the bike ages (it's an '07 with 45k miles on it)...so it's good thing.
