winter garage storage
its that time of year again to garage my summer toy untill spring, ive only got a terraced garage in which to store my car. i was just after some advice on storage, best ways of trying to keep damp/ condensation at bay and any other tips that will try to keep the car from the elements.
ive been told open boxes of salt inside the car will absorb moisture also inside bay ect.
it probably be taking the car round the block every couple of weeks or so just to keep the air ride active ect.
anyone else in the same boat and got any advice??

the last thing you want to do is introduce salt.
get some of the sachets you get in new trainers and stuff like that, that will take up the moisture and you wont risk rotting your car while you do it

you can buy silica gel pouches from rs components i think, possibly off ebay too, just the same as what you get in with your trainers but about the size of a mars bar maybe bigger which will draw more moisture out the air than them piddly ones you get with shoes.
