Process of storing car for winter

[Ken Hayes]

Gonna drive it over to a heated building on Friday, Stabil in tank, disconnect battery, put the cover on it and wait til March when I get it out and bring it back home. The building I use is a Police towing company and city impound yard so theres someone there 24/7. Plus they have a few cats to take care of the mice.

Last year there was a little dust on the car but it blew off on the way home.

The place I store mine is an old grocery store warehouse. They have a great ventilation system and if anyone was going to try to steal mine, it is the furthest away from the exit door. Or at least it will be, I still haven't dropped it off, hoping to do so in the next week.

Un cooked rice acts as a desicant and will absorb mosture and odors.
most gun safe desicant systems also work great in cars.
moth balls keep the rats and mice away in the engine compartment.

Not sure about the Moth balls. One you get that smell it just doesn't seem to go away. I do like the uncooked rice idea, but doesn't that attract animals ?

Dryer sheets dispersed thru out the vehicle will keep mice away...I prefer Bounce brand.
So does Irish Spring bar soap...just slice up the bar and distribute.
Been using both for years...
