Put in fuel stabalizer and run it through the car.
Put the car on jack stands to keep the tires from flat-spotting.
Take the battery out and keep it somewhere warm, off the floor.
Make sure paint is really clean (detailed) when being stored.
Put a baggie over exhaust tips and air filter. it keeps out moisture.

its just for storage when the car isnt driven for months. I forgot to add, put vegetable oil lightly on all weather strips to keep them from cracking.
