I would still worry about the drivers in cold weather outside, as these were designed for home use, but that's just me. Great it works out for you.Therefore I tried commuting with them this morning:

Also while they look to be in pretty good condition while closely inspecting them I did see a few scratches/cracks in the finish, but apparently this isn't your everyday varnish/lacker or whatnot, so not sure what do do about it to keep it from getting worse (while of course not making it worse myself). Has anyone tried to re-coat them yet ? If so with what and with what results ?
The scratches/crack in the finish are probably there because you bought a demo unit.
