Cleaning headlights, lights, interior and<br />
exterior plastic components, adhesive<br />
foils, radar sensor for adaptive cruise<br />
control and rearview camera<br />
Observe the following points:<br />
f Use only clean water and a little dishwashing<br />
liquid or interior window cleaner to clean<br />
headlights, lights, plastic components<br />
and surfaces.<br />
Use a soft sponge or a soft, lint-free cloth.<br />
Note<br />
An interior window cleaner can also be used to<br />
clean plastic surfaces (always read the cleaning<br />
instructions on the container!).<br />
We recommend Porsche interior window cleaner.<br />
f Gently wipe the surface without applying<br />
too much pressure.<br />
f Do not clean when dry.<br />
f Never use other chemical cleaners<br />
or solvents.<br />
f Rinse cleaned surfaces with clear water.<br />
274 Maintenance and Car Care<br />
Alloy wheels<br />
Metal particles (e.g. brass or copper in brake<br />
dust) must not remain too long on alloy wheels.<br />
Contact corrosion can cause pitting.<br />
Note<br />
Cleaners with an oxide-removing effect or<br />
wrong pH value, as are commonly used for<br />
other metals, as well as mechanical tools and<br />
products, will damage the oxide layer and are<br />
therefore unsuitable.<br />
f Use only cleaners for alloy wheels<br />
(pH value 9.5). Products with the wrong<br />
pH value can destroy the protective layer<br />
on the wheels.<br />
We recommend Porsche cleaner for light<br />
alloy rims.<br />
f If possible, wash the wheels every two weeks<br />
with a sponge or washing brush. If the wheels<br />
are exposed to road salt, grit or industrial dust,<br />
weekly cleaning is necessary.<br />
f Every three months, after cleaning, treat the<br />
wheels with car wax or an acid-free grease<br />
(e.g. Vaseline).<br />
Rub the grease in well with a soft cloth.<br />
f Please see the chapter “CLEANING IN CAR<br />
WASHES” on page 271.<br />
Danger!<br />
Danger of accident resulting in serious<br />
personal injury or death if cleaning agents<br />
(e.g. wheel cleaning agents) come into<br />
contact with the brake discs. The resulting<br />
film on the brake discs can impair braking<br />
performance.<br />
f Make sure that no cleaning agent comes into<br />
contact with the brake discs.<br />
f If cleaning agent has come into contact with<br />
the brake discs, clean the brake discs<br />
thoroughly with a strong jet of water.<br />
f Paying attention to any road users behind you,<br />
dry the brake discs by applying the brakes.<br />
Stainless steel tailpipes<br />
Stainless steel tailpipes can discolor due to<br />
soiling, strong heat and combustion residues.<br />
The original shine can be achieved again using<br />
commercially available metal lustre paste or metal<br />
polish.
