Patrick1964 Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Today’s job was a clean and re proof of the soft top. Much easier than the first time I did this (which I suspect was the first ever clean). Rest of the car will get another bath tomorrow.

earley231186 Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 What most people frown upon, I added weight, put sound deadening Dynamat in the doors. Was fixing the missing seals romprevent wet door carpet, so while I was there I added in the sound proofing. Doors sound a little better now when shutting. No longer have that tinr rattle to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbe Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Cleaned roof with Gtechniq W5 solution (3 times) followed by brushed-on 1 coat of Protex Black restorer and 1 brushed-on coat of Protex weatherproofer. Done over 3 days of dry weather. No need for all that masking-off business seen in videos, just have a cloth handy to quickly wipe off any spills. Happy with the results.

Smells like a newborn baby. @JonSta do you just use the pears soap to make a sudsy solution and wipe with a cloth, or something else? And then do you treat it afterwards or just leave it to dry?

Ninesomething Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I got one of those foam scrubby washing up sponges - like I buy for my wife on her birthday - and a bowl of warm water. Dampen the sponge and rub the soap bar till it's good and sudsy, wipe all over whatever you want to clean, leave it for about a minute to lift any dirt then wipe it off with a towel trying not to make too much mess. Then just leave it. I was a bit shocked how much grime came off the wheel. Nice and matt looking now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finbox Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Got my Boxster out of the winter hibernation and took it for a drive! I had the battery removed all winter and car had stood for six months. I used a CTEK battery tender about once a month on the battery and battery showed good health. I plugged the battery in, turned the key and the car started! All I had to do was the window regulation and I got the PSM message, which cleared once I got out of the garage. Oh boy it was fun driving it! However, I have one more issue. When first starting I got "Fault headlight control" or similar. My car has the PDSL Xenons, and I noticed that the light do not turn as they did before. I need to check the fuse, and if it's not that, I need to get the OPC to check it.
