I polished all my stainless trim for my 63 Dodge on the island in the kitchen last winter and stored it all under the bed. The pistons/rods out of the 440 got thrown in the dishwasher when she was working a late shift the other night. They came out looking really nice!

I've had brake rotors, cylinder heads and front suspension components stored in the closet over the winter before.

The wife doesn't like it so I usually slip it in and put it in boxes where she doesn't know what it is.
