Introduction
As a professional car storage facility specialising in premium and vintage vehicles, we understand the importance of preparing your premium vehicle for long-term storage. Follow these expert tips to ensure your vintage/ premium vehicle remains in optimal condition during its time in storage.
1. Thorough Cleaning and Detailing Your Premium Vehicle
Before storing your vehicle, give it a thorough cleaning and detailing session. Remove any dirt, dust, or debris from both the interior and exterior. Apply a protective wax coat to preserve the paint and prevent oxidation. Niche Cars offer a wide range of reputable McLaren Cleaning sprays from Bug and Tar Remover to a Quick Detailer, we’ve got you covered! Visit our Shop to browse our products.
2. Fluid Checks and Maintenance
Check and top up all essential fluids such as engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Consider changing the oil and oil filter if the vehicle will be in storage for an extended period. This helps prevent moisture buildup and ensures the engine remains lubricated.
3. Tyre Care and Pressure for Long-Term Storage
Inflate the tyres to the recommended pressure to prevent flat spots from forming during storage. Consider placing the vehicle on jack stands to alleviate pressure on the tyres. Inspect the tyres for any signs of wear or damage and address any issues before storage. Before storing your vehicle, our expert Niche Cars mechanics ensure optimal tyre pressure for your car, preventing any potential issues during storage. In addition to this, our Premium TyreDox Tyre Cushions, spread the load of your vehicle to help minimise flat spotting and ovalisation over time.
4. Battery Maintenance
If possible, disconnect the battery or use a trickle charger to maintain its charge level during storage. This helps prevent battery drain and ensures the vehicle starts smoothly when it’s time to retrieve it from storage. Check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean if necessary.
5. Interior Protection
Protect the interior of your vehicle by using a car cover or indoor storage bubble. This shields the interior from dust, sunlight, and potential pests. Consider placing moisture-absorbing packets inside the vehicle to prevent mold and mildew growth.
