1) Invest in a quality car cover
2) Wipe your car's finish down with a quick detailer and a microfiber polishing cloth. -
Do I have to wipe all the dew off 1st before using the QD or can I just spray it over?2005 Nissan Altima 2.5SComment

I would think it would be okay to mist your quick detailer onto of the dew and then remove both at the same time.
When you say morning dew, you mean light moisture, not puddles of water, correct?Comment

Most of the car is covered in a light miosture. Places like my hood and the top of my trunk have little pools.2005 Nissan Altima 2.5SComment

If it were mine, I would use a quick detailer to remove the dew and leave a nice shine behind. It would be safer to remove the dew while it's wet as it's already a type of lubricant.Comment

This is what a friend of mine told me when I asked him this same question.
Poorboys Spray&Wipe has much more lubricity than Meg's Quik Detailer and would be safer to use on morning dew. The Meg's product has more gloss enhancers and fewer cleaning properties than S&W.
Anyone know if thats true?Comment

I don't know that any quick detailer has more lubricity than any Meguiar's quick detailer, Meguiar's pretty much invented this product and introduced in as [b]Trigger Wash[/i] in 1981, since then a lot of copycats have appeared on the market but I don't know that any of them are any better than any of the quick detailers we currently offer.Originally posted by 05BlkAltima

The best thing to so would be a side-by-side comparison keeping as many of the variables the same. Then make up your own mind.
Just as important as a quality quick detailer would be a quality microfiber polishing cloth or plush, soft 100% cotton towel.
Let us know what you find out.Comment

I know what you mean!
I have found that if it is a "heavy" dew that I prefer to wash it rather than QD it. If it is only a light dew then QD'ing works great! Just make sure to spray enough on to cover the paint and then gently wipe-off.
