R55 MINI and plastic failure

Any big motors constantly running in your garage? Air compressor, fridge, freezer? Plastics don't like ozone.

The plastics can get brittle from the sun or the extreme cold, I just treat most with VRP from CG and it seems to help on the fading.

I have an air compressor but only run it once every 3 months or so. I do have a fridge in the garage as well but it's designed as an outdoor fridge so low run times and energy consumption. Gladiator full size fridge converted to a kegerator for homebrews!
