Car Care
80
Porsche recommends car care products from
Porsche Tequipment.
e Treat the convertible top cover with a converti-
ble top care product after washing at least once
a year. Do not allow the care product to come
into contact with paint or glass. If contact with
paint occurs, remove the product immediately.
e
If the convertible top cover, seams or folds leak,
use a convertible top care product. Read and
follow the instructions on the containers.
Porsche recommends car care products from
Porsche Tequipment.
e Remove bird droppings immediately, as the acid
they contain will make the rubber swell, causing
the convertible top and convertible top element
to leak.
e
Open the convertible top and convertible top el-
ement only when completely dry to prevent
stains and abrasion damage.
e Remove spots on the convertible top cover by
rubbing carefully with a soft rubber sponge.
Paint care
NOTICE
Dust particles on painted surfaces can damage the
paintwork if not properly dealt with.
e Do not rub dust with a dry cloth.
NOTICE
The matt effect of components may be lost if not
cared for properly.
e
Do not treat matt-effect bodywork sections with
preservatives or polishes.
Preserving paintwork
The paint surface will dull over time due to weath-
ering and should therefore be regularly protected
with a paint preservative after washing the vehicle.
This keeps the paint shiny and elastic, and prevents
dirt from adhering to the paint surface and industrial
dust from penetrating the paint.
Polishing paintwork
Paint polish should only be used to clean the paint-
work when the original shine can no longer be ob-
tained using preservatives.
Headlights must not be polished.
Removing marks
Remove tar spatters, traces of oil, insects, etc. as
soon as possible using an insect remover and wash
the area carefully afterwards as they discolor the
paint if left to work on it over time.
Repairing paint damage
Have minor paint damage (cracks, scratches or
stone chips) repaired immediately, before corrosion
begins. Visit an authorized Porsche dealer. Porsche
recommends an authorized Porsche dealer, as they
have trained technicians and the necessary parts
and tools.
If traces of corrosion have already formed, these
must be thoroughly removed. An anti-corrosion pri-
mer must then be applied to these spots, followed
by top-coat paint.
Caring for wiper blades
NOTICE
The graphite coating on the wiper blades can be
damaged if they are not cleaned properly.
e Ensure that the cleaning jet does not strike the
wiper blades.
e Do not clean wiper blades with a cloth or sponge.
e Clean wiper blades with clear water only.
Windshield wiper blades in perfect condition are vi-
tal for ensuring a clear view.
e Clean the windshield regularly with a window
cleaning agent, particularly after going through a
carwash.
e
If extremely dirty (e.g. due to insect residues),
clean the windshield using a sponge or cloth.
The wiper blades should be replaced twice per year
(before and after the cold season) or if wiper per-
formance deteriorates or the wipers are damaged.
Cleaning windows
The front side windows have a water-repellent (hy-
drophobic) coating, which reduces soiling of the
windows. This coating is subject to natural wear and
can be renewed.
e
Visit an authorized Porsche dealer. Porsche rec-
ommends an authorized Porsche dealer, as they
have trained technicians and the necessary parts
and tools.
To ensure proper cleaning of your vehicle, please
observe the following:
e
Clean all windows regularly, inside and out, using
a window cleaning agent.
e Do not dry the windows with the same chamois
