Garage humidity and surface rust

[patrickt]

I used to put my Cobra in a special "Car Bag" with desiccant in it from Thanksgiving to Easter when I had a non-climate controlled garage. The car would come out looking exactly the same as when it went in, with no surface rust even on the shiny rotors. I quit doing that after I built a climate controlled garage for her. Here's a pic from back when I was using it. It really did do a very nice job. Spectacular job, really.

Portable dehumidifiers will do the whole garage. Under $200

Patrick:
Do you remember your source for the bag? My garage here in the Midwest gets that dampness too.

Yep, here it is: https://www.carbag.com/carjacket/ I can honestly say that it kept my car in perfect condition. You can either dry the desiccant out in the oven or just buy new desiccant each year. I just bought new desiccant.
