I'm having to go away in the near future for up to 6 months.
I'm intending to keep my car on an open air site, under a car cover.
However I'd like some advice on what I need to do to make sure I still
have a useable car when I get back!

It's a Mk2 Golf.

If you think about it , caravans are not used for much part of the winter,
(i'm not a caravaner but became interested in some of the products)
Disconnect the earth lead, if you are sure the car will be secure.


there is a product by fenwick called overwinter
it appears to be a thick wax that can be applied to a body and easily
removed with a wash when required

Overwintering is formulated to protect caravans and motorhomes during winter
storage. Its unique formula protects against algae, mould, fungus, airborne
pollutants, acid rain and bird lime.

Overwintering is easily applied using a spray once the unit has been
cleaned. 1 litre provides 50m2 of coverage. The Overwintering layer will not
crack in frosty conditions, wash off with rain or snow, or melt in warm
sunshine, but it is easily removed in springtime with a solution of Fenwick'
s Caravan Cleaner or Motorhome Cleaner.
Overwintering is biodegradable.
Size. 1 Litre

I was interested in the bobby dazzler for use on cars
