I don't really know where to start this post so I'm just gonna roll with it....
Tailor it to fit your needs.
Last year there were alot of car storage posts. Scince it's supposed to be mid 50'S here tomorrow it'll probly be the last ride of these season. So I thought maybe some of the newbie's might like some storage tips.
Anyway clean your car up best you can in the weather you got, you dont want to store anymore contaminants than you have too.
Next thing I like to do is get a couple of large bags of charcoal (no I'm not havin' a BBQ) This is to lay out under the car. Charcoal seems to draw moisture to it (and away from the car). Just get a couple bags of the cheap stuff, DO NOT get the Match light type... the fumes will knock you out and way too risky if you get my drift.
I can usually get 2 or 3 seasons out of it. (Shows how cheap I really am). You'll know when it's reached it saturation point cause it turns ashen grey and crumbles in you hand. This year I'm also gonna get some el-cheapo glad ware and put a little in the trunk and interior.
I know alot of you guys like using dryer sheets to keep the mice away and out of your interior ect. As long as I've
been using charcoal I have not had a mouse problem, maybe just me?
Obviously a full tank of gas is in order, dont be stingy with the STA-BIL!
I've always overinflated the tires.. about 42-45 lbs. Seems to ward of flat spot issues.
Take the battery out... duh.
Fresh oil and a very liberal splash down the intake manifold. I give it a spin or 2 to coat the cyl walls. Plus You don't wanna be crankin' over a dry engine come spring.
Oh yeah I almost forgot before I throw on the car cover... Top up on the converts! Trust me on this one...
I hope someone finds this helpful, my apologies if I forgot anything. Now enough of this I gotta get to the store..
How could I forget...
A light spray of WD-40 will keep the corosion off your wheels till spring, and clean-ups really easy!
