Car care instructions
Regular and correct care helps to maintain
the value of your car and is also a precondi-
tion for the New Vehicle Warranty and the
Anti Corrosion Warranty.
Your authorized Porsche dealer has specially
developed car-care products from the
Porsche program available either singly or as
complete car-care sets. He will be pleased
to help you select suitable products.
Whether you use Porsche products or other
commercially available cleaning agents first
make sure of their correct application.
The Porsche paint finish is of a high quality
baked synthetic enamel. The color and
enamel type designation are indicated on
the "paint number sticker". When buying
touch-up paint, always give the paint and the
car's identification numbers to your dealer.
A well-cared for Porsche can look like new
for many years. It all depends on the amount
of care the owner is willing to give the car.
WARNING
• Cleaning agents may be poisonous.
Keep them out of the reach of children.
• Observe all caution labels. Failure to do
so may result in serious personal injury
or property damage.
• Always read directions on the container
before using any product. These direc-
tions may contain information neces-
sary to avoid personal injury.
• Most chemical cleaners are concen-
trates which require dilution. High con-
centrations might cause problems rang-
ing from irritation to serious injury as
well as damage to your vehicle.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene,
naphtha, nail polish remover or other
volatile cleaning fluids. They may be
toxic, flammable or hazardous in other
ways. Only use spot removing fluids in
well ventilated areas.
• Do not clean the underside of chassis,
fenders, wheel covers, etc., without pro-
tecting your hands and arms as you may
cut yourself on sharp-edged metal
parts.
• Moisture and road salt on brakes may
affect braking efficiency. Test the brakes
after each vehicle washing. |
Washing
The best method of protecting your car from
the damaging effects of the environment is
frequent washing and the application of a
preservative. The underside of your vehicle
should also be washed thoroughly, at the
latest when salt is no longer spread on the
roads.
The longer salt, road dust and industrial
dust, dead insects, bird droppings or sub-
stances from trees (resin, pollen) are allowed
to remain on the bodywork, the more serious
is their harmful effect.
Bodywork which is inaccessible to the car
wash must be cleaned by hand and dried.
New cars should be washed carefully with
plenty of clear water to protect the new paint
work. Dark paint finishes show up the smal-
lest of surface damage (e.g., scratches)
more readily than lighter colors.
Dark colors are also more susceptible to
scratches because of the composition of
their pigments and therefore require special
care and attention.
When washing by hand, use abundant water,
a soft sponge or wash brush, and the
Porsche car shampoo. Begin by spraying the
body thoroughly with water to rinse away
loose dirt. Do not wash your car in bright sun-
light or while the bodywork is still hot. After
washing, rinse the car with plenty of water
and then dry with a chamois leather.
