Best Practices for Vintage Car Storage

At Flexible Storage, we understand that vintage car enthusiasts have a unique appreciation for their incredible machines. Your classic car is not just a vehicle—it is a piece of history, a symbol of craftsmanship, and a source of pride. That is why we are passionate about helping you preserve its beauty and value. In this article, we will explore the best practices for storing vintage cars with care and preservation in mind, ensuring they remain in pristine condition for generations to come.

Choose the Right Storage Location at Flexible Storage

When it comes to storing your vintage car, location matters. At Flexible Storage, we offer watertight and fireproof units designed to provide the optimal environment for preserving your vehicle. Our units maintain stable temperature and humidity levels, protecting your car from extreme weather conditions and preventing rust and corrosion. With adequate ventilation and security measures in place, you can trust that your vintage car is in good hands at Flexible Storage.

Prepare Your Car for Storage with Flexible Storage

Before storing your vintage car, it is essential to give it the attention it deserves. Our spacious storage units provide ample room for cleaning and preparing your vehicle. Take the time to wash your car meticulously, removing dirt, grime, and contaminants that could potentially damage the paint or cause corrosion. Our secure facilities offer the perfect space for waxing and polishing your car, ensuring it shines like new before being stored.

Utilise Proper Storage Accessories

Investing in the right storage accessories can go a long way in preserving the condition of a vintage car. A breathable, soft fabric car cover is essential to shield the vehicle from dust and debris. Avoid using plastic covers, as they can trap moisture and promote condensation, leading to paint damage. When storing the car, ensure the tyres are inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure. Using tyre cradles or jack stands can help prevent flat spots, especially if the car will be stationary for an extended period. Additionally, consider disconnecting the battery or using a trickle charger to maintain charge and prevent sulfation.

Implement Regular Maintenance with Flexible Storage

Even in storage, your vintage car requires regular maintenance to ensure it stays in optimal condition. Our convenient access hours make it easy for you to check on your vehicle and perform routine maintenance tasks. From periodic engine startups to visual inspections for signs of damage, our flexible storage solutions empower you to take proactive measures to preserve your vintage car's beauty and value.
