Taking good care of your Lumberton area Corvette means more than just parking it in your garage and throwing a tarp over it until April. You need to take certain precautions to make sure your Vette comes through its storage in top shape. You need to prevent moisture, for example, from gathering on your Corvette. You need to keep rodents from gnawing at your stylish seats.
During the winter, make sure to store your Corvette in an insulated building, preferably one that has a concrete floor. If you place charcoal briquettes in pie pans on the floor, you can help to channel some of that moisture away from your Corvette. Another option is to use commercial absorbing products. Keep in mind that these only last for about 30 days so you’ll have to replace them monthly.
You should also start with a good wash, wax and detailing. Make sure your antifreeze is full, and that your master cylinder is as well. You should either fill your gas tank completely or drain it. You can remove your battery and store it. Never store it on a concrete floor, of course.
You should also coat your weatherstrips in a silicone spray. This prevents moisture and it helps them to keep from getting hard.
Finally, put some mothballs inside of a plastic bowl inside your Corvette. This keeps mice out. You can also put moisture absorbers inside.
