My 1996 BMW Z3 (105,000 miles) will be 22 years old in January. It looks like new—actually, better than new!
A short story: Two years ago, I brought my Z3 in to BMW for service. The Service Tech walked back-and-forth to the car twice.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Nothing – but the VIN on this car says it’s a 96. I’ve never seen such a beautiful ‘96. How do you do it?” He asked.
My secret is 303® Automotive Protectant. Really! This stuff is magical. Several times a year I apply it to the plastic rear window (which looks like clear glass!), dashboard, leather shift boot, seats and door seals (they look brand new!).
Then, before storing the car for the winter, I meticulously do the following:
When my Z3 comes out of hibernation in the spring, it looks perfect! Note: rodents are a big concern if you live in the country. A Car Bag keeps them away.

P.S. No need for a fabric “dash cover” if you use 303! I’m also a serious canoeist (see my website). I have four extremely expensive Kevlar/carbon-fiber canoes. I regularly use 303® Protectant on them and on my $300 carbon-fiber paddles.
