Un-garaged boxster?

[FTD]

I bought a Boxster that previously was not garaged. The paint was not well taken care of and you probably know what it means to bring it back. Take good care of the paint. Plenty of wax and no bird droppings allowed.

Also, the front boot release lever is faded instead of a crisp red. If you can do something to protect it from UV fade I hope this is a heads up for you to consider it in your car care. It looks pretty stupid faded out.

Mines isnt garaged either and its ok, Only issue i have is when water sprinklers wet the body, they tend to leave hard to remove water spots.

Like everyone else has said, you should be fine without the garage. If you are concerned, ask yourself: What do the dealers do when the weather is bad? I don't think they have enough room to shove all the cars under one roof...

btw, if you do end up buying the Boxster, I would *not* recommend washing it an automatic car wash or a hand car wash every time you decide to clean it.
That will wreck the paint more than leaving it out in the elements.
Try this instead, they're using QEW but most people like ONR

how many washes can get get out of the 32oz bottle?

Hmm I dont know about the 32, I went right for the big ole gallon sized since I use it as quick detailer too.


But 32 should be good for at least sixteen washes. I believe your supposed to use 1 ounce for 2 gallons of water. But I always use at least 2 ounces to play it safe.


here's a great waffle weave towel for drying after a No Rinse wash. The threads don't snag like most waffle weave drying towels I've used. Their silk bind mega towels are good too. These guys always toss in an extra towel with an order of $50 or more. The 12 pack is a good deal, I try never to pay more than $4 per towel for a high end paint towel. The wheels, glass and interior get the cheaper towels.
