Maintenance and Car Care

Cleaning in car washes
Optional add-on parts or parts that project beyond
the contours of the vehicle may be damaged by
design features of car washes.
The following parts are particularly at risk:
– Convertible top (hot wax treatment must not
be used, as the wax attacks the convertible
top material),
– Windshield wipers and rear wiper (always
switch them off – wiper stalk in position
0
–
to prevent them wiping unintentionally in
intermittent or sensor operation).
– Exterior mirrors (always fold in).
– External antenna (always unscrew).
– Roof transport system (always remove
completely).
– Spoilers.
– Wheels (the wider the rim and the lower the tire
height, the greater the risk of damage).
– High-gloss or silk-gloss wheels (to prevent
these from getting scratched, do not clean
with the wheel-cleaning brushes of the car
wash).
f
Please consult the operator before using
automatic car washes.
f
All parts not reached by a car wash, such as
door and lid seams or door sills, must be
washed and polished by hand.
Information
Automatic car washes spray water at odd angles
and high pressures, which are not seen in normal
driving. Therefore, water can sometimes find its
way into the passengers compartment during or
shortly after the car wash.
Convertible top
The service life and appearance of the convertible
top depend largely on expert care and operation.
Incorrect care and operation can damage the
convertible top or cause it to leak.
Never remove snow and ice with sharp-edged
objects.
Cleaning the convertible top
Risk of damage to the convertible top due to
the cleaning jet of the high-pressure cleaning
equipment or hot wax treatment.
f
Do not clean the convertible top with high-
pressure cleaning equipment.
f
Do not use hot wax treatment.
Do not wash the convertible top every time you
wash the vehicle.
Normally, rinsing the convertible top with clean
water is sufficient.
f
Brush dust off the convertible top in the
direction of the weave using a soft brush.
f
Only in the case of heavy soiling, wet the
convertible top with lukewarm water and
a wash-shampoo & convertible-top cleaner and
rub gently using a sponge or soft brush.
Rinse off wash-shampoo & convertible-top
cleaner thoroughly from the convertible top
with clean water.
We recommend Porsche wash-shampoo.
f
After washing, treat the convertible top at least
once a year with a convertible-top care
product.
Do not allow the convertible-top care product
to come into contact with paint or glass.
If it does, remove immediately.
f
In the case of leakage in the convertible-top
covering or at its seams and folds, use a
convertible-top care product.
f
Please observe the information on the
containers.
We recommend Porsche convertible-top care
product.
f
Remove bird excrement immediately. The acid
this contains makes the rubber swell and the
convertible top will leak.
f
Open the convertible top only when completely
dry, otherwise damp stains and abrasion
marks may occur which cannot be removed.
f
Attempt to remove spots from the convertible-
top covering by rubbing carefully with a soft
rubber sponge.
