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.

Well, if your wife is one of the two...I wonder who the other one is.

They could start a club, have meetings, hold bake sales to raise funds
for new rags, etc.

To paraphrase Arlo Guthrie:

"And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people
a day walking in, wiping down their sills, and walking out. And
friends, they may think it's a movement."

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.

"...whether there existed a "sealant"...

Yeah...it's called "good exterior paint over a properly prepared
surface"
