Storage prep Im about to leave off for college and I found a garage that I can store my gxp in while im gone. Im not going too far away but I don't trust it sitting in the parking lot and I don't want it baking in the sun, then rusting in the winter. I do have a lot of wax on the car, if that matters, I will store it clean of course and put some fuel stabilizer in it, and disconnect the battery. What else should I do? I heard some people say its best to take the wax off with dish soap, but that scares me.

Don't use stabil. You're better off with seafoam or leaving not much gas in the tank then topping it off when you get it out.
A trickle charger on the battery would be nice, but requires power.

i went to home depo and bought a dehumidifier chemical product. Ive forgotten the name but its in a plastic cup that fits nicely in our center console cupholder and it really does absorb alot of water and crystallize over winter. and dryer sheets in the cabin and under hood apparently are a rodent deterrent. +1 on seafoam the gas and its actually better to do a oil change before storage so that the nasty **** does not settle out over the winter in the oil passages
