This should be interesting.

- Cold-treatment works.  Is it necessary and do you get value? Always a 
good question.
- Meta-Lax sounds like snake-oil to me, but I have no experience or 
evidence to back that up.

I'm expecting to learn something here.

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.

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 ;-)
