I had the wood-framed windows on the West side redone recently by a professional painter. They were in terrible shape from years of neglect and hot sun. I had prepped some of the sills by sanding a few years ago, but gave up because the upper part of the frames were so messed up; finally hired a pro.,
He prepped everything carefully and applied 2 coats of primer and a coat of Benjamin Moore acrylic outdoor paint.
Here's my q: He advised wiping dew/condensation off the window sills every morning to avoid deteriorating the new job. (This is So. Calif coastal).
I don't understand why that is necessary, though I will do it if this distinguished body so advises. My thought was that the dew/condensation will evaporate anyhow when the sun hits it.
Your thoughts?
TIA
