Great advice...thanks! Randallneighbor brought up an interesting point about buying a car straight off the lot or ordering it. Even though it was a bit more expensive, I ordered mine straight from the factory. Now that I think about it, my test drive definitely did not follow the break in procedures. However, my car arrived with 14 miles on it coming straight off the boat. Any idea where these 14 miles came from? Do they test drive the cars at the factory? Drive the cars from the factory to the boat? What gives?
Slogans7, were you referring to applying P21s carnuba wax after the Klasse sealant?

I heard these miles are test track miles in Germany.
I tell you what, I'd pay Porsche a salary to test all the new cars every day

Sadly, after driving Porsches all day, every day, it does tend to be like ......driving!

I finally got my shipment of Klasse products in the mail and I can't believe the difference. My car only had 14 miles on it, I used the Klasse All-in-One and the sealant and I couldn't believe the difference. Thanks for the recommendation and I am a believer! My factory Basalt Black paint looked dull next the Klasse-ified paint!

power break in
There is a power break in procedure described on www.mototuneusa.com , I have done this specific procedure to a 2001 MB E320, 2002 NSX, Kawasaki ZX-6 and because I bought my boxster used, I wasn't able to power break in my boxster. All it really involves is warming up your car properly, I'm anal so I did it for 15-20 minutes. then ride it in hard according to the specifics described on the website. The car's engines run like brand new to this day, Oil changes are super clean, and what can I tell you, when my uncle drives my e320, he says mine is faster than his. (we both bought our E320 4 matics at the same time). Afther the first 10 miles, you HAVE to change your oil. then anal me changed it again at 200 then 1000. I"m just being overly cautious that's all. Check out the website, you won't regret it.
