Tucking in the stang for winter-Question

[electricgreen]

So, this past summer I ended up with a set of chrome rims on my stang. Now that due to a freak storm there are branches dangling over our driveway threatening to fall any moment, we decided to put the car away a bit early for winter. Any thoughts on chrome rim care for them sitting over winter? Unfortuntely, there is moisture that gets in the garage. I always get a good coat of wax on the paint and put a damp rid in the car to get any moisture that gets into it out of it.

I'd lay down several sheets of 6 mil Visquine on the garage floor to keep moisture from rising up through the concrete. I'd put a battery minder on the battery and cover the car with a soft cover. I'd also add Stabil to the fuel and fill the tank.

Sssshhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! C'mon dude, it's bad enough the weather always look great on New Year's Day when the Rose Parade is broadcast around the country, but those Eastern guys hate hearing about us SoCal guys driving with the top down and wearing shorts and t-shirts in December and January!!


electricgreen, I would recommend that you apply a coat of your favorite wax to the wheels as well. Chrome or not, a little protection is always a good thing. Wax them regularly during the summer and brake dust is much easier to remove too.
