this weather is doing wonders for my car thats in the garage... so this wacky weather has caused my car in the garage under a car cover to have a nice thin layer of water on it... so i pull the cover off and dry it and hope it doesnt do it again, or just let it dry itself?
im in that area that was 0 deg early last week and now is pushing 60
and if i do dry it off, will it dew up again right away?

mine doesn't appear to be dirty, i pulled the cover up on the drivers side so i could inspect the pad on the drivers seat since im getting new upholstery i wanted to see if i needed to replace the lower pad on that seat.. i am doing the upper one... the whole car has that haze to it now, i'm just wondering if i should take some of my terry cloth towels and dry it or let it dry on its own

Get a better cover. One that lets out moisture.
As for taking care of it right now, just wipe it off if it's still wet. Otherwise, let it be until you can wash it.

Mine looked the same way when I went out to start it up today. With the quick temperature change it wouldnt have mattered what cover you had on it. I have a Noah cover on mine and this is what happened. No big deal, just take the cover off and let it dry out with the garage open.

i just went ahead and used some microfiber towels and wiped it down... the cover itself wasn't really wet on the underside so i just put it back on after i dried the car off (i didnt really fully take the cover off i kind of took it all to the t-top area and then dried the car with it up there including up on the t-tops.
but yeah my car looked exactly like that blue one above and since its only been in the garage since nov 5th and its pretty much been covered the whole time and it was cleaned before i put it away, it didnt really get dirty

Yeah the same thing happened here. I went to start my dad's 96 SS and every car out there in the pole barn was wet and the floor was wet and everything. My bro didn't look under his cover to see if his was wet though.

Yup i am sure mine looks like that too. I did not want to go find out 
Happen all the time in the spring when the weather is starting to warm up. I put down a big blue tarp, then i put down a painter canvas. Hopefully that will cut down on the moisture

thats exactly where my car is at, an attached garage, although the garage does not have perfect insulation though. (you can faintly see light under the garage door on one side of it)
