Oh nice.. casual racism and assumptions. wonderful comments from the plebs as usual.

Anyway, you may want to check/replace the cabin filter if it snot already been done.
Where was the racism?
Everyone knows there wasn't any but cheesesliceking presumably gets off on faux outrage.

Products?

Fill 2 pots (chinese take away containers cleaned) with Bicarb of Soda and poke holes in the lids and slide under the seats. Leave for 2 weeks and replace the bicarb. Rinse repeat.

Great odour eaters and can assist with moisture reduction in my experience.

I have a couple of 1kg silica bags which I cycle monthly through a car that doesn’t get used every day. They seem to work well but I thought the nub of the thread was the inability to link, with reasoning by a group of people, the event of blasting a car for five minutes with a high pressure hose and the fogging of the glass afterwards.

They will have het washed the mats then put them back in damp, even if slightly damp the moisture will condense on the inside glass this time of year. What we do in the trade is lower the windows an inch and leave the car running with the heater blowing either/or face vents or feet. Block the car in with another car as if the vehicle is stolen , no insurance payout. Leave for say 2-3 hours. Should be dry after that.

Thanks for all the replies lads. I suspect it’s the wet mats as the car has developed a disgusting damp smell. I’ve taken the floor mats out to dry them but the problem also has extended to the boot where the idiots have also jet washed the boot liner.

You would have through that people who do car washing for a living would avoid this problem so their customers keep returning to them 🤦🏽‍♂️

I thought you were intentionally being ironic to make a point that these generalisations work both ways. I guess you're just racist though.

One thing I'd like to add is the glass cleaner used, I can't remember the terminology but some glass cleaners like Meguiars NXT absorb moisture, causing the windows to steam up. If you left half a bottle open over night there would be more there in the morning.
