I'm really looking forward to the end of March. 
All I have done is give it a good wash, carnauba wax, treat the roof, the leather with Gliptone, etc. Plugged on a battery conditioner and inflated the tyres to 40psi to avoid flat spots. Car is in a dry and heated garage.

How long does a car need to be standing for flat spots to appear?
I had mine standing around for 6-8 weeks. I took it to the garage to have the tyres pumped up as they had lost some PSI (6 PSI lost on one). I cannot see any obvious signs of flat spots though.

8 weeks in the cold is enough to form flatspots but they will come out if you take it for a loong run. You will never notice flat spots just by looking at them.
