What did you do to your Challenger today

I was planning on putting her up for the winter today. Next thing I know it's snowing out, so I took it out of my house garage at 7 AM before the plow came, because I need to get on the road to go to my shop driveway. I had to do it urgently before they salted the road. Now on to my winter project. clean the oxide off the engine. Remove wheels, clean, wax, and rotate. Get a swirl scratch kit to remove what looks like brush car wash scratches. Give her a good coat of wax, and clean the interior. Oil change in the spring after her first ride.

 

Since she's stored for the winter (for the most part). I was in the garage admiring the Plum Crazy and started drooling. I had to wipe that off!

 

LOL, I went down to turn off the heat in my shop one night, and my wife asked where did you go. I said I went to turn off the heat, and ended up admiring my car like most other people do out in public.
She hates all the attention I get with it, while she's lucky to get a glimpse and comment on her Rav4.

Anyways, I was going to chemical clean the oxide on the engine, and took a look at the wiring, sensors, alternator etc. and decided elbow grease with a little wire brush, and a scotch brite pad would be better.

Still kind of busy with work, maybe I can get on it in January.

 

BTW, I nose it into the garage at my house, so I never get to see the front. I backed it into the shop, so it is just looking at me with it's four eyes when I walk in. How can I resist?

 

I still have two to clean up and and cover to put to sleep for the winter...

 

Boinked the old lady in the back seat, then had to call 911 to get us out.

 

I always keep a light under the hood, or under the vehicle to keep rodents away. Not ready to cover yet.

 

I have always used mothballs on pie pans, one pan in front and back under car, and a pan in the floorboard never had a problem with any of my cars, crack the windows in my older cars sun visors partially tilted down and of course tucked in and covered up like a baby.... lol

 

Peppermint oil keeps them away too, and it smells good.

That's the beauty of light, you don't have to buy any stinky products to store your vehicles. Ever see a rodent nest in a lighted area?

Once I cover it, the light will be left under the hood with it closed.

 

burring a light cost money.
