Spots and stains
Road tar, grease, oil, and insects cannot al-
ways be removed with soap and water alone
and require special treatment. Spots of any
sort should be removed without delay before
they change the color of the paint and cause
permanent damage. Only use an adequate
cleaning solution.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, naphtha,
nail polish remover or other volatile
cleaning fluids. They may be toxic, flamm-
able or hazardous in other ways. Only use
spot removing fluids in well ventilated
areas. Keep them out of reach of children.
Whenever using commercial cleaning ag-
ents, follow the directions on the containers.
Be aware of warning or caution labels.
Cloth upholstery and carpet
Clean with a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush.
Dirt spots can usually be removed with a
lukewarm soap water solution.
Use spot remover for grease and oil spots.
Do not pour the liquid on the cloth material.
Dampen a clean cloth and rub carefully,
starting at the edge and working inward.
Leather and leatherette
The best way to clean leather and leatherette
is by using a lukewarm soap water solution
and a soft brush. Wipe dry with a soft rag.
Occasionally a colorless leather preserva-
tive should be applied.
Touch-up paint
Your dealer has touch-up paint for minor
scratches and stone chips.Scratches should
be touched up soon after they occur.
Windshield wiper blades
Remove the wiper blades periodically and
scrub with a hard bristle brush and a strong
detergent solution.
Windows
The road dust settling on the windows con-
tains tire abrasives and oil. Use a lukewarm
soap water solution or commercial window
cleaning agents for the inside and outside.
Also clean the wipers.
If a chamois is used for polishing the glass,
it should exclusively be used for that pur-
pose.
Never use chemical cleaning agents for the
plastic covers of the front and rear turn
signals. They should only be cleaned with
water or a soap/water solution.
Door, hood, and window seals
The rubber seals become brittle and crack
if they are not occasionally treated with gly-
cerine or talcum.
Storing your car
Before placing your car in storage for a pro-
longed period of time, consult your Porsche
dealer regarding corrosion prevention.
