7 Special notes for the care of soft−look paint
surfaces
Caution

Light soiling (e.g. dust)

Heavy soiling (e.g. oily, greasy dirt)

CAUTION
Damage to the soft−look paint coat if the cleaning agents or solvents available as accessories for cleaning the
vehicle interior are used. This also applies to the use of plastic polish 999.901.021.41 from the Porsche care
set.
The contents of these agents etch the paint coat (paint swells, rubber−like texture). Consequently, the paint
coat can fall off the substratum when a mechanical load is applied.
Furthermore, the surface may shine brightly after using the cleaning agents.
• The following procedure is recommended for the care or cleaning of soft−look paint surfaces on the
basis of laboratory tests.
