Winter storage...

hey everyone


well, its almost november here in wisconsin, and that means snow and weeks below freezing. I bought a winter cover for it, ran me about $300 so i am assuming its going to hold up unfortunatly the car will be sitting outside. So far i was told to but it p on jacks, obviously get a good coat of wax on it, and remove all the carbon fiber parts (hood, trunk). Make sure all fluids are topped off and there is a full tank of good fuel in it. the rims are going to be stored in my basement. Any other suggestions? Like, what to put on the plastic on the outside? or anything else? its going to be stored from november till late march ( then it goes in for all belts and hoses to be changed) so let me know what else i can do?!

hey thanks!!!
