I have heard many times that dew will rust out cars....used car dealers refer to "lot rot" which occurs on cars that just sit on the lot. The dew collects but without driving the car and getting ventilation around it it never really dries out and the next night more dew collects. As far as the vehicle getting wet from dew everywhere air can get to, I'm not so sure.......I believe the dew only collects on vertical surfaces similar to rain and then runs down the sides, drips past moving window seals etc. Just had breakfast outside this AM and the top of my outdoor table was wet with dew, but underneath it was dry. The chairs pushed under the table were also dry so that's my scientific proof!! Mark
