So unfortunately indoor storage fell through this year as I wasn't able to get my garage project going and get a storage lift in place. So my car will be spending this winter Outside in the Driveway.
I live in Ontario, Canada so it is going to snow, and we tend to have humid winters.
I know I have a few weeks left of driving but once the car is parked, it will remain there until the Spring, I generally don't like to start/idle my cars during the winter, or take them out if we happen to get a rogue warm day. For the most part it will be sitting from November - middle of March, so far my plans for storage are:
1.) Pump up the tires to the max rating on the sidewall
2.) Full tank of gas with Fuel Stabilizer
3.) I was going to wash the car right at the end of the season and cover it with this cover: https://www.carcovers.com/covers/cars/toyota/gr-supra/2023/platinum-shield-car-cover.html
4.) Silica Gel Dehumidifier in the interior to help keep humidity down/prevent mold.
5.) Disconnect Dashcam battery and bring it inside
I'm still debating if I should remove the actual car battery and bring that in as well, or if I should leave it in place and use the CTEK tender, and just leave the tender in my garage on the floor and run the cable under the garage door and in to the hood area?
Does anyone have any other tips, or things I should do differently?
