Our 2006 isn't perfect but it still looks great, probably because we live in a dry climate and it's garaged when not in use. We've had it professionally waxed once.

Not an answer to your question but relevant, I don't think Airstream uses genuine leather. "Ultra-leather" is synthetic material and isn't genuine leather. No comparison.
