wow this is all great info thanks guys, my tires are pretty crappy so I'm going to put new tires on after pulling it out from storage and getting the new o2 sensor then too. I thought STA-BIL looked like a good brand, I'll have to pick it up tomorrow on my trip to O Riellys. I washed my truck a lot in winter too to prevent rusting it helped a lot but not a total preventative. And thats a clean S-10 for beign a 93 very nice.

i complete clean the inside and out, (buff, wax, vacuum, interior polish, put a black ice tree in), then i put it on the tender and throw the cover over it.

the black ice smells great for a while since the scent is soaked in a bit and the interior polishes smell pretty good too!

I wash, wax, and polish interior and use leather conditioner on her and use invisible glass cleaner every other day if not everyday and I plan on doing that before storage too I like the DRIVEN brand air freshners they have a black one too that is similar to black ice smell and thats great adivce for storage i think I will do that.
