Winter storage advice needed

[jmc49]

I will be putting my 2000 M away for the Winter soon. I live in Connecticut. The car will be in an unheated garage. I could use some tips, what needs to be done prior to putting it away?

1) Wax/Cover the car
2) Disconnect the battery
3) Make sure your gas tank is full
4) Some have suggested adding a fuel additive to prevent water buildup

After storage:
1) Change your oil
2) Check tire pressure

I stored my roadster every winter when I lived in Idaho. I did what Tom has suggested, wash, dry, wax and cover. I even vacuumed the car, treated the leather and cleaned the windows. I always left it with a full tank of gas (never used a stabilizer), pumped the tires up to 45 psi and rather then disconnecting the battery, I used a motorcycle slow charge, about 2amps and left it on the car. I never had a problem and before driving her again in the spring, I lowered the tire pressure and warmed her up slowly.
