Haha! Yeah keeping it that clean is the mission although I'm now a dab hand with my DA polisher which is a godsend, albeit hard work.
I only picked the old girl up today so am in two minds as to whether to put the rubber mats in or use the stainless ones I bought years ago. I was thinking of sealing them up altogether and sealing them with a texture coating then Dynaxing it underneath.

She’s currently back in for a bit more work on the roof - the seal on the pop top was not correct and way too hard, which had worn away the paint over time.
Primered up ready for paint with a new pop top seal going on - I’m also having an eyebrow spoiler painted up in the same colour:
