Morning Dew

Any suggestions to eliminate that morning dew? If I don't get dry my car before the sun starts rising I start to get water spots from the dew.

Yup, park it in a garage, or buy a car cover, or buy a covered parking cover dohikey thing that u park under (a tent)-- That was easy, you gotta ask tougher questions--

a lot of seniors in fla put a towel over their cars...this absorbs most of the dew. I know what u r going through....when I am in Fla. and wake up, the car looks as if it went through a car wash...

I live in an apartment complex so no garage, no covered parking, etc... -- just the wide open outdoors unfortunately. I've thought about a car cover but a.) I hear they cause scratches and b.) I'm lazy -- time to put it on then take it off and then put it back on, ... then again it takes the same amount of time to dry her but that's at the crack of dawn.

X-tra wax, "California Car Duster", What color? Silver Pearl is easiest to keep clean.

She's yellow so every spot is VERY visible

I'll have to try an extra thick coat of wax and see if that helps.

They do make car covers with liners in them, granted more expensive but ah probably your only option for you under your circumstances--Otherwise, keep doing what your doing-- If careful installing the cover I don't see how you can scratch it, altho I suppose its possible.

I have Minight Blue and have same problem you have and it stays outside--Even tho I have a garage, but thats changing soon, clearing/cleaning out garage to make room for the sky and setting up hand remote for auto garage door opener--

Get up early, before the dew forms and go for a drive. The roads are quiet, the stars are out and how can you doubt that a Starlight Sky is the best looking thing you've ever seen!
