Care of Vintage Porsche Cars

It is important to take extra measures to properly care for and clean your vintage Porsche. Cars like this can be more vulnerable to the elements. They are also often near and dear to their owners, necessitating special attention when cleaning and detailing them.

Some steps to follow and points to keep in mind:

• Wash the car in the shade, or at least out of direct sunlight and use a good quality car wash detergent. Use as little as necessary to get the job done.
• Begin with the wheels, using the detergent. Be aware of special wheel cleaners that contain ingredients, such as acid, that will be too harsh.
• After washing, be sure to rinse with clean, cool water. With convertible Porsches, it is typically unnecessary to wash the soft top every time.
• Use a cotton, lint-free chamois or towel to dry the car. Be sure there are no fibers or water droplets left; be thorough. This will preserve the wax.
• Fix any dings or deal with any paint issues before waxing, then follow up with your preferred brand and method of waxing. Each owner has their own way they like to do this.
• For the interior, use a synthetic spray cleaner for the vinyl or rubber. Do not spray directly on the material, instead spray a lint-free cloth and wipe.
