LB, Never?

Before you start washing or detailing your car, I would search this forum for tips regarding washing and detailing from Perfect Lap. With my previous cars, I haggled and always added free car washing at the dealership as part of my deals. Anytime the car was dirty I just buzzed into the dealership and in 10 mins... clean and pristine car.

However, (hope I am not telling you something you already know... if you know already, just ignore the rest) our P-cars have different clear coats and will scratch if you let those bristles or dirty towels scrape all over your car. I do not know if you ever owned a black car before but not only are they beautiful when properly detailed, they show all kinds of flaws easily. Also, detergent on our convertible tops are not very good for it. I was offered and given free car-washing for my current Boxster. Unfortunately, they use an automatic car-wash and I have not taken it there.... they will just scratch it up. Perfect Lap and others on this forum offer very nice tips on keeping your black car shining like liquid with minimal work.

p.s.... the amber side lights have to go. I was able to pick some up from e-bay for $24 and $15 for a pair of silver coated amber lights. Yup, some clear side lights and your car will be perfect.
