Thanks for all the tips and links folks, love this forum! ( and compliments of course😬)

I'm totally in love with this car, every Drive, I get to know it a little bit more.
Met Chris Denning the other day, what a gentleman! I'm going to start a service plan with him in the new year.
Question, slightly rattily sunroof, any suggestions? And my near side driving light seems to have some condensation on the inside?? I haven't investigated yet but will after Christmas.
Really fancy a sports exhaust, so have been watching closely on the other thread. Are the Top gear switcheables easy to install? Also, really keen on a rear wing but all in good time I guess!

Looking forward to some Welsh road driving early in the new year for any South Wales/ Gloucester regional types!?

Ooh, Got some car shampoo too.

I think Stoddy is well on the way to Obsessive Compulsive Detailing, and will soon be equipping himself with a unicorn-hair washmit.

My biggest worry is the rear wiper, which has been left standing up... it's easy to knock it back flat and for the blade to spin round and scratch the C pillar... I know from bitter experience. :sad:

I didn't think the 997 wiper could do that? My 996 came with those scratches already done. Took me a while to work out where they'd come from, till I did it myself! :frustrated:

Congrats on your purchase! :thumbs:

Sponge = scratchalicious :wack:

Take a look at Jon's Forensic Detailing channel, loads of really useful insights on looking after your car and no paid for advertisements! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xain_ryPN0

The winner of their testing on wash 'media' was the chenille wash mitt style product like below. Enjoy the ride!

Merry Xmas!

Im sure its fine... just stick it in a cool wash regularly to get the grit out.

I see my neighbour washing her car with a washing-up sponge and kitchen jug full of water and wonder if we overcomplicate things.
 
Cheers fellas,

I'll grab a mit I think but I'm really careful with the sponge too. Washing it is a good idea. Those wheels take a bit of cleaning I can tell ya!
Looking in to a ceramic coating in the new year too.

Merry Christmas!
