By Sherry Gross


It's possible to store a car for various reasons, including winter and severe weather conditions, momentarily relocate to another area, army deployment or the insufficient area to store it in the home. Following standard processes for vehicle storage can help ensure the car stays safe throughout its storage period, ready to be moved if springtime arrives.

Find credible center so that you can store your car. The local fairgrounds may provide a storage option in the winter months, a friend or member of the family extra garage or a barn you can utilize. Be sure to secure the location from potential damage or theft.

Prepping the car for storage could take some time, however it's worth the work. Thoroughly vacuum and clean the interior, ensuring to enter all edges and corners to remove any food or particles that may be not be visible. Take the vehicle to washing bay and clean the bottom to remove grime and dirt. Wash the wheel wheels.

Wash and wax the outer-parts and polish the inside vinyl and the dashboard with a good cleaning product. A petrol stabilizer bottle will not be a bad idea. Go to the filling station and make sure this product is added. Let the car run some time until the engine gets heated up. This approach helps mix the stabilizer and gas together to ensure the gasoline does not change to varnish.

Select indoor storage if it is possible for your vehicle. Bring your materials together. You'll need a tarpaulin to cover the ground, tools to disconnect the batteries, rags and lubrication. When you arrive at the garage area, spread the tarpaulin on the floor then drive the car unto it - this prevents moisture from damaging the car's underside. Place a rag between wiper blade and the windscreen. Lubricate the latch of the hood and door hinges. Keep the doors shut until all reach the initial click. This prevents the plastic molding from collapsing in the course of the storage months.

Lubricate the door hinges and hood latch. Ensure the doors remain closed until the first click is reached. This stops the rubber molding in case of any potential collapse during the storage month. Reliable technicians suggests that you take out the spark plugs, spray them using oil, turn the crankshaft manually, then replace the ignition plugs. Disconnect the charging system's cables (negative first), and remove the battery. Send this removed battery home and keep it for the wintertime, using a trickle charging system to maintain the power. Finally, cover vehicle with the appropriate cover.

Abide by the suggestions for storage in-door, but protect the floor using plywood with a thicker sheet plastic or tarpauline. In case you are going to cover the car, open the windows around 1/2 in. To allow good ventilation. Add mothballs to keep mice from making a home in the car at winter times. Get a quality cover that is porous enough to work with, but strong to safeguard the car from having issues during winter.

Invest in a quality car cover that's porous enough, yet strong to protect the car from winter wear. Maybe you have to invest few hundreds of dollars for a quality cover. You'll find the price worthwhile because it provides maximum safety for your car. You can consider placing a few heavy and soft blankets beneath the cover to help absorb moisture during winter.
