Damp car in the garage. How best to speed up drying time?
Discussion
I have the same problem as yourself but mines due to a leaky garage roof so I've now taken the car out of the garage and prefer to leave it on the drive till I put a new roof on mine..
I can't see any air bricks in your garage if that was my garage I would put a couple in to help it breath..
It shouldn't cost anymore than a tenner and half hours work with an angle grinder.

I have a Meaco DD8L Junior 8L Desiccant Dehumidifier running 24/7 in the shed (with drain pipe). On medium setting keeps it a constant 60% which is enough to stop condensation on tools etc. Previously tried a cheap compressor type which constantly froze up and was fairly ineffectual in that sort of environment. Has a slight heating effect when running and sleeps when levels are ok, not really noticed any major electricity usage, it is probably about 200-400W when running.
