Clean or Dirty...........

[MConte05]

Middle of the road here. I keep my interior very clean, exterior gets washed down when I get the chance, but it isn't a high priority. The boxster just isn't that special of a car to me to get fanatical about it.

Yep in the middle also. I like having a clean car but prefer driving around instead of washing/waxing. I am still looking to be able to give dept in my paint though. I don't know if it's because I don't wax it enought or do it wrong... Some guys here have some paint finish (probably due to great paint maintenance) that looks very deep and it looks great!

I think I'm in dirty side! Look at it after a the winter. It so dirty. I'm doing a little bit of maintenance, then clean it up a little. :-)

Michiganstar,
You get it, I'm a total nut about my car but that pure disposition of high end exotic and filth was such a powerful image.

Anyways guys, I have loved this thread and i look forward to getting mine back. 4 weeks and counting!!!! Full bare metal respray. New splash trims (colour coded), de badged trunk, new nuts, bolts, rivets. Glass out, doors off , trunk and frunk off.

Cost??? Lets not talk about it eh!


Wawa, that's in a different class!

I went with Silver and Black on my new 981. I know myself well enough that this would be the best thing for my sanity and I would drive it more.

I want to enjoy more night driving too since it has PDLS and the lights are so good it really makes me more comfortable (I don't see well at night). Driving at night where I live means lots of bugs and I don't want to have to remove them immediately after each drive, it requires a good lubricant to soften them and not scratch the paint. I'm going to get a clear bra so they can be left on and washed off once a week. If the clear bra can be damaged by the bug juice then maybe it isn't worth it. From what I have seen from my friends 911 they easily come off later with warm water and the bra seems just fine.

I had some 997 Porsche black rubber mats and they fit the 981 so I just put them in and don't bother cleaning the dirt for weeks now.

I still really love detailing cars, keep my Guards Red 2000 'S' lookin good and do most of my friends Porsches, but now with a Silver car it is no longer about the bling but more about the beautiful lines.

When my commute was 15 minutes and I wasn't racing much, I was a detail fanatic. Now that my commute is over an hour and the car is raced 3times a month, there just aren't enough hours in the week to keep up.
