just because the car can’t go in the garage, and is parked in the shadow of the house. I was thinking of giving it a few hours with 2 of these 40 watt tubular heaters, that I normally use to protect my Karcher pressure washer.
I could use some flat 0.75mm2 cable to power it , and shut the self closing door on it (not too keen on that, though I could test it unpowered first)
Or
Alternatively leave one window open 10mm and feed the cable through the gap.
Interested in a consensus if you think 40watts x 2 would make a difference :-
... also would the partially open window let in more moisture than these could remove?
Or better to have the window completely shut?
Or would it be necessary to get a little flat fan heater?
Note the car is not wet inside, and I don't have any blocked drains. .. all checked, combi filter, front of engine bay, sunroof drains etc.
Just trying to dry it out as much as if it was kept in a central heated garage.
