Use one of these to store your car within, add a couple of desiccant bags and your car will be fine. As for the "flat spotting issue" just drive your car's tires onto several one inch thick styrofoam squares and they will be fine. Use Shin-Etsu grease or 303 on your door, trunk seals. Add Sta-bil to your full gas tank and change out any old fluids.
Remove your battery and store and you should be fine.

We're pretty excited about it as it's now a global product growing in popularity. We are still learning about the range so we'll add to this thread as we go.

If you haven't heard of the Carcoon before it's basically a bubble for your car, providing a stable environment regardless of what is going on outside. Every Carcoon comes with it's own Power & Charge Unit, this includes an intelligent Battery Conditioner to keep all your electrics in check. Personally I think this is one of the standout features, nothing worse than storing a car and returning to a flat battery.

There are 3 models, the EVO Indoor, the Double Skin Outdoor and a new Freestanding Indoor one called the Veloce. They come in various sizes to suit different cars, right up 6.7metres! (Apologies for the photos, we're still using Carcoons own images and they aren't the best.)

Carcoon EVO Indoor



Carcoon Double Skin Outdoor



Carcoon Veloce Indoor (not on the site just yet, will be by tomorrow)




Prices start at €350 for the Indoor model and €440 for the Outdoor, just depends on which size you require.

All Carcoons purchased from CleanCar.ie will be shipped completely Free of Charge (a saving of £30-60! over buying from the UK) and our prices are as close to the UK Retail as possible (we basically took their pricing and converted it to Euro at 1.15).

Lastly, our first order will be going in to them first week in September. Anyone who has paid a deposit by then will receive a further 10% discount.

As always thanks for looking

Consider putting a couple of dryer sheets in the cabin and in the trunk. Critters hate the smell. I do that with my boat in a storage building. Keeps it smelling nice when you finally take it out of storage.
