Default Window sills need to be wiped off?

Just had good nabe painter redo my West-facing (strong sun) wooden
window sills, only 2-3 years after he did all those windows w/Benjamin
Moore acrylic (over primer). *They had cracked and split and looked
like something that rhymes with split.


He says I have to get out there every morning and wipe off the
condensation from those window sills. *(Near beach; evenings
dewy). ??!!!


My wife goes out every morning at 7 AM, puts up the extension ladder and
wipes the sills. *I thought everyone did it that way.

I bet it would make the paint last longer, but I doubt more than two people
in the world would do such a thing.


OK, fellas, enuff of this misplaced yumer.

My question, way back, was whether there existed a "sealant", to use a
catch-all term, that would obviate the expressed need for this
matutinal sill wipedown.
