Maintenance and Car Care
Paint care
In order to protect the paint on your vehicle in the
best possible way against mechanical and
chemical damage, you should
– preserve it regularly,
– polish it if necessary,
– remove spots and stains, and
– repair damaged paintwork.
f
Do not apply care products containing silicone
to the windows.
Information
f
Never rub a dusty vehicle with a dry cloth,
because the grains of dirt will damage the
paintwork.
f
Do not treat matt-painted components with
preservatives or polishes as these remove the
matt effect.
Preservation
The paint surface becomes dull over time due to
weathering.
f
Preserve paint regularly.
f
Apply paint preservative after washing the
vehicle and polish it smooth to preserve the
paintwork.
This keeps the paint shiny and elastic. Dirt is
prevented from adhering to the paint surface and
industrial dust is prevented from penetrating the
paint.
Polishing
Only when the original shine can no longer be
obtained using preservatives should paint polish
be used to clean the paint.
We recommend Porsche paint polish.
Removing spots and stains
f
Remove tar spatters, traces of oil, insects etc.
as soon as possible using an insect remover,
as they discolor the paint if left to work on it
over time.
f
Wash the treated areas carefully afterwards.
Repairing minor paint damage
f
Have minor paint damage (cracks, scratches
or stone damage) repaired immediately
before
corrosion begins.
Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
If traces of corrosion have already formed, these
must be thoroughly removed. An anti-corrosion
primer must then be applied to these spots,
followed by top-coat paint.
Paint data can be found on the vehicle data
carrier.
f
Please see the chapter “VEHICLE
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER” on page 284.
Cleaning windows
f
Clean all windows regularly, inside and out,
with window cleaner.
We recommend Porsche window cleaner.
f
Do not use the same chamois for painted
surfaces and for drying the windows.
Preservative residues could reduce
transparency.
f
Remove insect residues with insect remover.
Information
The door windows have a water-repellent
(hydrophobic) coating, which prevents soiling of
the windows.
This coating is subject to natural wear and can be
renewed.
f
Please contact an authorized Porsche dealer.
Care of windshield wiper blades
Windshield wiper blades that are in perfect
condition are vital for a clear view.
f
Please see the chapter “WIPER BLADES”
on page 224.
