Car Jackets are Awesome for non-temperature controlled storage! Even bare metal rotor faces are still shiny and bright... no corrosion.
I also use a jacket in temperature controlled storage as it keeps the dust off of your cover. Cars come out as clean as they go in.
The re-usable canister dessicants also work great.

For fuel, I only run straight gasoline (NO ALCOHOL content). Alcohol causes issues because it absorbs moisture from the air and can also be corrosive to rubber and aluminum. (several bad alcohol dirt car experiences over the years).

If you must use alcohol content fuels then use a fuel stabilizer.

I also throw in half a dozen sticky traps just in case of critters... have only caught a few bugs.

Default car storage..

we have been car jackets fans for many years...they work great. Dryer sheets, de-humidity bags and we remove batteries...fuel stabilizer is a good idea regardless of what fuel you have.
