Now I open my garage door and the warm air rushes in and collides with all the cold metal that is well below the dew point and everything starts to sweat. And I mean EVERYTHING!! So I use the sheets as an air gap to moderate warm air trying to radiate in and cold air radiating out and the plastic as a vapor barrier. If I had the room, I'd additionally seal them in drums with desiccant.

A shinook? I've had that happen but didn't know it had a name. Sometimes it's like it's raining indoors. When that happens, I start up the cars with the garage doors open and warm everything up as fast as possible.
Yeah, and WD40 is only good for a few hours.
