removing morning dew

**godfearingman** · 10-08-2014, 06:05 AM

Hi hop I'm not double posting but I was wondering the best way to remove the early morning dew safely. Should I dry it off with my microfiber towel or just let it try on it's on or what? Thanks in advance.

I would leave it. By the time it warms up, its gone.

If you have a good LSP on it, it should not water spot.

I just waxed it yesterday morning and haven't driven it yet.

I try to go about 70 on my way to work ;-) Pretty fun to watch the water collect then stream right off - I just applied Klasse AIO on Sat morning.

I've never seen dew water spot my black car when it's clean. The only issue you might see is the dew laying on layer of dust or pollen and it will show. If the car is clean, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

you won't get the same type of water spots that you would if you had sprayed it with a hose from the ground. there isn't enough minerals in the dew collected and the dust in the air to cause those kinds of spots. at most you'll get dirt spots from collected flying dust, but it should be minimal.

it just gives you a chance to wash it up again later that day!!

Water-spotting comes from mineral deposits in water when it either runs through mineral-infused rock (source for faucets/wells) or pollutants in the atmosphere (rain). Dew is condensed moisture (water) from the ambient air at ground level--think of it as natural distillation, without the boiling. It's cleaner and less contaminated than water from a faucet, well, or rain, and less likely to cause any spotting on your car.
