Default Roof condensation

Does anyone else have this problem???

Since I do not have a garage the PT gets to sleep in the driveway. Lately, probably because the temperature is getting cooler at night here in the northeast, I find that the roof of the car gets condensation on it, even when I'm driving it. By the time I get up in the morning the top, sides and rear of the car is totally covered in condensation. The worst part is the fact that it looks like she has been crying. The condensation seems to roll off the roof, into the little grooves, gets trapped in the rubber molding around the rear window and then seems to bleed down the rear, making her look very messy when it finally dries.

Other than building a garage, is there a solution for this?

It's called "dew".

Hows about a breathable car cover?

Hows about BACKING into the driveway so the slope of the PT is changed and the dew runs to other places.

Can you park where there is early morning sun so it heats up and evaporates faster?

Barring these ideas, clean out the garage- have a garage sale, and use the proceeds for PT accessories

Have the same "problem". Unfortunately its what happens when you park outside like we do. Pretty soon that dew will be frost. My only tip is I use Zaino. Been over the car 3 times since spring and I use the Enhancer after every wash. I notice very few water spots from the dew rolling off. Other than that we have to live with it....its a fact of life, I think.

NEVER!! Get that evil thought out of your head.

Consider it "your contribution to a cleaner world", or something like that.

Obsessive would be cleaning it EVERY day, painting your garage Patriot Blue, getting a blue hot tub, going to many PT shows, having nothing but PT people over, .. oh, wait. Never mind.....
