Winter cover up

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

What Brian said, as long as the inside wont scratch, you are golden.

A couple of other things to consider. Run a bottle of injector cleaner through the gas and fill up the car before parking it. Then it is a good idea to include some fuel stabilizer to the fuel when you do park it.

Finally consider either putting the car on blocks or replacing the wheels for the winter. I actually use four space saver spares on the Topless Bunny. It prevents the tires from "flat spotting". Besides the space savers are cheap, I paid something like $10 a piece for them at my local wrecker.
