DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO KEEP THE MOISTURE OFF OF THE UNDERSIDE OF MY CAR WHILE IS IN THE STORAGE SHED. IT IS PARKED ON CONCRETE. SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT THE MOISTURE COMES OUT OF THE CRETE. I DON'T THINK THAT IT CAN BE GOOD FOR THE CAR.

paint the floor with industrial style floor paint would be my suggestion.

SORRY CAN'T DO THAT IT IS A STORAGE UNIT.

The easiest way is to lay plastic under your car. It acts as a moisture barrier.

A plastic tarp would work great.

In the spring it gets very humid and damp if you can but a small fan in. It will help also. My cars some times get very damp even with a tarp under them. Use the fan intill the frost is gone in the ground.

Don't they have those bubbles that you can drive your car into? Try one of those?

That stuff is 100% BS. Various versions have been sold for 30 years.

Do not buy it. The companies stay in business long enough to make money and then quietly disappear.

Sam Memmolo from that show pitches the 'Tornado' in a commercial. That blows any credibilty he had for me.

In addition to the tarp, you can try to use those Dri-Z-Air units to trap any moisture in the air. The drawback is you will need to periodically check the units to empty the basin and refill the crystals. One unit is usually good for a 10x10 space.

They have those "bubbles" I call them auto cocoons. Anyway, lay plastic on the floor, drive the car on it and wrap it up. Dessicant (sp?) wouldn't hurt either.
