Car washing
Washing
The best method of protecting your car from the
damaging effects of the e nvironment is frequent
washing and the application of a preservative. The
underside of your v ehicle sh ould also be thoroughly
washed for cinders, sal t or sanding at winter’s end .
The lo n ger salt, road dust and industrial dust,
dead insects, bird droppings or subs tances f rom
trees (resin, pollen) are allo wed to remain on the
bodywork, the more seri ous is their harmful effect.
New cars should be washed carefully with plenty
of clear water to protect the new paint work. Dark
paint finishes show up the smallest of surface
damage (e.g., scratches) more readily than lighter
colors.
Dark colors are also more susceptible to scratch-
ing b ecause of the composition of their pigments
and require particularly careful paint care.
Do not wash your car in bright sunlight or while
the bodywork i s still hot.
When washing by hand, use abundant wa ter, a
soft sponge or wash brush, an d Porsche car
shampoo.
Begin by spraying the body thoroughly with
water to rinse away loose dirt.
