what else can i do?

[jatee]

during the winter snow and salt months i store my hemi wagon. she is now under a cover in the garage, clayed, polished, waxed, vacuumed, conditioned, etc. i also detailed the wheels, tires, engine, engine compartment and undercarrage before putting her away.
i have taken the first step in the program like most here and admitted my obsessive cleaning disorder and passion for cars and can live with that.
any other things i can mess with that you all (who store their cars in winter) do to your vehicles during the winter months?
thanks, jatee

Full tank of gas to prevent condensation?

Battery tender on the battery and Stabil in the fuel. Slightly over inflate the tires to avoid flat-spotting and loss of pressure with the colder temperatures. I also put down a double layer of visqueen under the car to provide a moisture barrier. This keeps moisture from coming up from the concrete.

Be sure to keep your products fresh by using them on other household items....

I wouldnt be able to do that. I would be forced to drive it at least once a month on those good sunny winter days.

Its actually good for the engine and drive train if its driven ever so often. Dont let it sit all winter with no use.

hey guys,
i got that part ok. winterized, stabil in full gas tank, oil changed, battery ok, run up to operating temp and go through the gears in the transmission every week or so, ect. i hear ya jeepster on the occational ride on a good day or two but im not in k.y. any more( born and raised there) im in n.e. ohio by the lake. they are few and far between with a lot of lake effect snow here. what im referring too is detailing that can be done in the cold winter months.
garage is not heated, however i can run the kerosene heater in there if doing something. i hate to just look under the cover at it. i was wondering if anyone else did any type of intense detailing or something i could do extra that im not thinking about as she will be inside for a while. kind of looking for a project as i miss driving her already.
thanks, jatee
