Washing your vehicle
The best way to protect your vehicle against
damaging environmental effects is regular washing
and preservation. The longer grit, road and industrial
dust, insect residue, bird excrement, tree secretion
(e.g., resin, pollen), etc. remain on the vehicle, the
more harmful their effect.
No vehicle or convertible top is absolutely leakproof.
Water can sometimes leak into the
passenger compartment when cleaning the vehicle/
convertible top.
Observe the following points in order to ensure
that the vehicle is washed thoroughly without
damaging the paintwork:
e
Wash the underside of the vehicle thoroughly at
the end of the gritting season at the latest.
e
Only wash the vehicle in areas intended for this
purpose to ensure that soot, grease, oil, and heavy
metals do not harm the environment.
e
Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight or if the
bodywork is hot.
e
If washing by hand, use a car shampoo, plenty of
water, and a soft sponge or washing brush.
Porsche recommends car care products from
Porsche Tequipment.
e
Start washing the vehicle by wetting the paint-
work thoroughly and rinsing off any heavy dirt.
e
After washing the vehicle, rinse thoroughly with
water, and rub with a chamois leather. When
wiping with the chamois leather, do not use the
same leather as you do for cleaning the windows.
Cleaning in the car wash

the car wash, please observe the following table:
