[DeTomaso] Climate Bag

The climate bag that I use is the "PermaBag". I've had it now for 3 winters
and have been thoroughly impressed with it.... I clean the car up during
Autumn (that would be "fall" to you!), put it in the bag, and it comes out
in Spring in exactly the same condition as it went in. Clean, dust free and
dry.
Some points to note:
Use - In simple terms you unzip it, spread it on the ground, drive the car
on it and zip the thing up over the car. In order to absorb the inherent
moisture I stick a portable household dehumidifier in with the car, zip it
up with just the cable sticking out of the end of the zip, then run that
for a couple of hours before (very quickly) whipping that out and throwing
in a big box of silicone crystals then closing it up tight. That may be
overkill, but its easy insurance! The little canisters of absorber that
come with the bag may be good enough on their own, but as just mentioned, I
bought a big box of silicone crystals and they go in there too.
How big a bag? - I bought one that was a size up from that recommended. The
main reason for this is that I like to jack the car up on axle stands so
the tyres don't get flat spots over the winter. Of course in doing this,
the car effectively becomes bigger (taller), so you need the bigger bag!
Re-Use - The silicone crystals and canisters can be "regenerated" in a
household oven. It takes almost all day to do that at about 120 deg C (as
hot as they will stand - don't ask how I know!), but its a simple enough
process - you just have to pick a day that the wife is out of town ;-)
I hope that helps, but if you need to know anything else, just ask.
Kind regards
Andy
