I'm prepping a car for long term storage.
Under a car port but exposed to the elements and pests from the order "rodentia". Going to get a healthy dose of mothballs. . Cleaned and waxed before it goes. Should I buff it or leave it as is? Right now "Wax on- Heavy" |

I've made sheet metal block off plates for the openings left after drivetrain removal.
Verified recirc door locked in recirc. Moth balls will be hanging from strut tower brace in the exact center of the engine compartment. I wasn't planning on putting anything IN the car at all. One of the nicest things about this car is the interior. Leonard spent BIG BUCKS on custom perforated red center inserts on MSM leather seat covers. MSMs came black and red cloth or black leather with red stitching only. This one's black and red leather with red stitching. I think they were Catskins... The mods in the interior are mostly transparent and appear "Factory" as best as I could. I'm freaking paranoid regarding rodent intrusion into this car. Rats LOVE leather! Yep, getting a big box of fabric softener sheets now! Thanks @r_towle Actually, lots of folks mentioned "don't put mothballs in car." Many offered suggestions, including dryer sheets. I had already made the fabric softener decision before r_towle posted. I once had a customer car in here that had 4 pantyhose bags of mothballs hanging. Didn't really notice it with the shop OPEN. Next morning walked into a CLOUD! OMG! full venting, all doors open, all fans on... And then I found out why. He'd had TWO cars totaled due to rats... His insurance company denied "comprehensive" for his address. Since stinky ass mothballs, no problems at all. He did not have a garage and has to park outside (carport). [size=2]THANK YOU ALL!
