Going to store my Bradley for the winter, and wonder if there are any good ideas on how to protect my newly chromed bumpers from rust for 9 months in the Illinois weather. It will be stored under roof.
i have put WD 40 on them in the past. Any better ideas?

The axle grease or vasoline and wax paper method has been used for 100 years or more.

Greased and wrapped and secured with rubber bands. Will it make it 35 miles to it's storage shed intact? If not, I can fix it later this fall. Thank for the info, guys.

I decided that newspapers wrapped and masking taped on them would stand the drive better. That is the way the chrome guy protected them from scratches and scrapes when I got them. He didn't have the grease on them though.

Leonard, I would wrap with something like freezer wrap or waxed paper and a light coating of grease. I think newspaper absorbs moisture and will be like a wet sponge against it.

Good thought, thanks. It did make the trip though, without blowing off.
