Overheard a guy at Cars and Coffee say 'detail before you drive, not after'
I was grabbing a latte at the meet last Sunday and this older dude with a clean 240Z was telling someone he never drives a dirty car to a show because the morning dew and dust bake into the paint. I used to rush out with a quick wipe down right before leaving, but that just smeared stuff around. Now I do a proper wash the night before and use a quick detailer with a microfiber only after the car cools down. Anyone else find that pre-drive detail actually saves you from buffing out water spots later?

That dew point thing is real and people sleep on it. Night before wash is smart but you also want to think about where the car sits overnight. I park in a garage so I'm fine, but my buddy leaves his M3 outside and even after a full wash he gets spotting by 7am because the dew lands on the panels and then the sun hits it sideways. Now he throws a cover on after drying and pulls it off right before he leaves. The cover keeps the dew off the paint completely.
