Keeping a car dry in a garage
Does anyone have a good solution to keeping a car dry in a garage?
I've got to store a car firstly at my parents then in a few months at my house but both garages suffer from a bit of condensation/damp. For
instance any bare metal quickly gets surface rust on it etc.
The best I can come up with is a carcoon but they are £400. I just need it dry so I don't get surface rust on the discs and the bare Ali stays
nice.
Cheers

Lather it in GT85 - but keep it away from the brakes, obviously 
Keeps the water off my off road bike.

I put a cheap dehumidifier in the garage when it had a damp problem, £70 from B&Q seemed ok, but better still is to sort the damp,....

Sawdust / wood chippings may help to take water out of the air.

It's not so much damp as it is condensation on everything. I live on top of a mountain and consequently live in a permanent cloud/mist in the
winter months and it just gets everywhere and forms condensation.
Will a dehumidifier really dry a garage out?

It's looking like a carcoon at the moment tbh as it's easily portable from one garage to the other, and it's cheap to run.
major pain though is it inflates so big I'll be left with small walkways either side of it and I need access one side for the tap and the other
side for the racking.......................
