Need advice of storing my mustang

roosgt! · January 10th, 2012, 06:47 PM

Ok so here it is my mustang has been sitting in my carport since september, well now I have a couple problems going on.
First is that a cat keeps fucking spraying on my damn rims and I have no idea how to keep this damn cat out (though of sitting outside with my pump waiting for it) but thats a bad idea since I do like cats.
Right now I have my rims covered with garbage bag taped to the tire to keep them clean and protect them for the time being.
Im really thinking about plasti-dip them for the winter and take it off when I drive the car again.

Second problem is that my car port is not fully inclosed so the car does get dirty and the roof is leaking too, can I just tarp the car off for the winter? or will that mess my paint up?

Any advice would be great guys or gals thanks!

I'm not allowed pets here so my rottie is at my parents house

I heard stories about people putting tarps on there cars and running into some problems with there paint pealing and causing surface rust

Take the wheels off lol

As for the paint/rust issue I think thats caused cause the moisture doesn't get out from under the tarp...

Lol I'm actually looking for a couple more jack stands to do this.
Well for the moisture I guess if i dry the car completely it should be fine for awhile.

As for the tarp, you can use it, but don't let moisture collect under it, and make sure you secure it well. I had some of the eyelets on a tarp scuff the paint on my Cutlass.

I'm thinking that im gonna actually tarp off the carport instead of putting it on my car that way i feel better about it and not scratching the paint
