Your Essential Tips
The weather is warming up, and with summer approaching, it’s time to ensure that your Porsche looks its best for the warmer weather! Whether you are planning some drives down to the coast or simply socialising with friends, having a clean, fresh car can make all the difference. So, there are some top tips on getting your vehicle summer-ready, including working with the Porsche specialists Essex car owners recommend!
Deep Clean
Your Porsche has had to deal with all that the British winter had to throw at it, from snow and ice to rain and mud. So, it deserves a deep clean! Start with a full wash and pay close attention to often-missed areas such as the wheel arches and around the badges. It is here where dirt can accumulate. Once you have cleaned your car, it’s time for polishing and waxing. Not only will this make your Porsche look super-shiny, but it will also protect it from dust and debris from the road.
Don’t forget the windows either – both inside and out! You don’t want to have gone to all of that effort only for those to let the final look down.
Interior Detailing
The inside of your Porsche deserves just as much attention, so focus on that next. Vacuum the carpets and seats thoroughly, using attachments to reach into those little crevices. Leather interiors will benefit from a quality leather cleaner followed by a conditioner, just to keep the material nice and supple. Finishing touches like replacing any worn mats and adding a subtle air freshener will make it feel like you have just driven your car out of the showroom!
Check Your Tyres
We drive around a lot more in the summer, which means that your wheels and tyres need to be in great condition. You should inspect each tyre for signs of wear and tear or damage, and also ensure that the tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread all the way around! Be sure that your tyres are inflated correctly too, as this can have a real impact on how your car performs.
Regular Servicing
You should also make sure that you keep up with your Porsche’s regular service schedule. A service will take care of many of the jobs mentioned above, and will also be able to detect any issues with your car. You will then be able to address them before they seriously affect how your car works or make it unfit to drive. A Porsche is a beautiful car to own, and services help to keep it in great condition for longer.
What Next?
Now you’re all set for summer, you have so much to look forward to! So why not start ticking off those car care jobs and book your Porsche in for its service today? You’ll be amazed at how much of a difference it all can make!
