I picked up my boxster late this summer. I live in Minnesota… so, it’s time to put her to bed for the winter.

I have a nice heated indoor garage spot for her. It stays about 50 degrees in there.

The problem, it’s fairly humid in the winter.

Being honest, I’ve never had a car that I’ve been compelled to “take care of” like this one and I don’t want to mess it up. I drive it, it’s not a princess, so I’m not talking about over the top preparations… just common sense stuff.

I gave her a good bath. I’ve got a dust cover.

What else? I’m always fighting a musty smell in the interior anyway, and I don’t want to let that get worse… what do I do there?

Fuel additives? Full tank?

Battery tender?

Should I move it once a month or so to keep it from sitting on the same spot on the tires?

I’m sure there’s a thousand different opinions about what to do… just looking for some overall best practices. Thanks.

    CTEK(they make the Porsche branded ones) or NOCO battery tender. There’s plenty of tire psi recommendations out there, there are also stands you can put under tires to stop flat spotting. There are little dehumidifier canisters you can use in the car and garage to help keep things dry. Nice indoor car cover from Amazon is pretty inexpensive too.
