Winterization practices will protect your classic car from damage, theft, and vandalism. Review the storage guidelines below. Upon doing so, contact an Oklahoma City, OK representative of Vance Insurance Group LLC for assistance preparing your insurance policy.
Storage Benefits
Properly storing your classic car will protect it when it is not being driven. Adequate protection will reduce the chance of needing to file an insurance claim. Sufficient storage will keep your vehicle out of view and preserve the condition of your vehicle’s body, motor, and tires.
Cleaning Steps
Before you store your car for the winter, provide it with a thorough cleaning. Use automotive cleansers and cleaning tools to remove grime from the body and undercarriage. Use a protectant to prevent your vehicle from rusting. Perform a thorough detailing session, including vacuuming and shampooing your classic car’s upholstery.
Garage Storage
If you own a garage, clear out an area within it where your car can safely be parked throughout the winter. If you plan to drive your vehicle occasionally, clean the driveway leading to the garage.
Canopy Storage
If you do not have access to a garage, a portable canopy can be used as a secure area to park your vehicle. The canopy’s coverage will prevent debris from coming into contact with your classic car.
Paid Storage
If you have limited space on your property, you may want to consider parking your vehicle in a paid rental unit. Rental units provide security and protection from the elements.
