Because your car color is Sage Mist... j/k

It is probably because of the humdity out side and because you take care of your car. Since you kept it waxy, I would guess that the moistiore just keeps collecting and beads up while all the non waxy cars on your block just spreads the water all over and drys before your beads of water can dry.

Its because of where your car is parked. There must be a whole lot of humidity near where your car is, maybe a large lawn nearby or something. Check out where everyone elses car is. Its most likely not near where any water in the air can accumulate near the car such a brick or concrete or driveway etc and not near any lawns.

I just noticed the same thing this morning. I noticed that my car was still really wet about 3 hours after everyone else's were dry. It finally dried after the sun was out for a couple of hours. I just waxed my car too. It seems like it gets dirty after the water dries though.

there 18" ASA ar1's there made in the BBS factory and there only 22 pounds. while were off topic; on car domain iv seen some sh*tty looking maximas that have over 100 positive comments, and yet i only have 1, is it because i dont comment on other cars?
now back on topic my dads 85 max is in front of mine and my moms avalon is to the side of it, all 3 cars less then 10 feet from each other, and if i dont dry it i get water marks.

If you have a garage to park in she'll stay dry all night long.

I live in a subdivision that's next to a HUGE cornfield, will post pics sometime, but, long story short, in the early morn, my car looks like its been rained on, even though there has been no precipitation. I park literally next to the Cornfield, so's thats why . see if youre next to any large bodies of flat land.

So what you're saying is that those other cars are parked right next to yours, yet only YOUR car gets covered in condensation?

I bet you the other cars around his car isn't as waxy as his. That is why the condensation will bead up and take longer to evaporate.
