Hi, for the forseeable future my Van will be living on the road outside the house.

Any weekly checks I should be doing to keep it from weathering as much as possible?

It is my day to day runner if that changes things

anything that can be nicked.

Wax is a good tip i will get on that!

Valuables ... all my money goes on the van itself

not just any old wax... canuba wax is probably better than a cover.

The paint on his De Tomaso is the best I've seen on any vehicle.

ALDI do it too - at least 2-3 times a year. Bargain at £2 for about half a gallon.
