If you really want protection and the parking location is not on the street
but in a driveway or behind the house... Car Capsule has a exterior version
that allows for air to be constantly circulating (it can actually dry out a
'damp' car). Seen them on eBay but even then pricey in the $500 range. See
auction 250240166832. or search on "carcapsule"
I have the indoors version and stored a completely stripped (paint) for
almost two years without the problematic red stuff appearing. I bought mine
from a local 'dealer' and it was not as high as the current ebay price for
that type ($330).
