Talking How much misery can a 968 go througth in a year

After buying my 968 in july last year and enjoying driving it for five month , it was time to put her in storage for the winter ,then decided to teach her a lesson in sanitary behavior witch the past owner had forgot to do .Then when time came to get her out of hibernation I decided to spoil it a little bit.First 5 layer of waxe/special made Porsche logo for the shifter/ an SC steering wheel / the now famous air boxe mod/a little engine detailing & last but not least My Timmy cup holder lol after all had to spoil myself a little to.

WOW, very clean and Very nice 968. Every time I go to give my S2 a good scrub I find something wrong and it's off to the mechanic, or brake out the tool and I get side tracked fixing problems. Then once it's fixed I just want to go out and drive, so the deep cleaning takes a back seat. Now that winter is on it's way I will have the time, hopefully mine will be as clean as yours by spring time!

Beautiful clean car. Hope to have similar results after parking it in the next few weeks I plan on pampering it this winter.

Is that wood floors in your garage. Nice touch

Thanks a lot guys for all the positive responds,will go back at it this winter & try to get a little more done.To your question __mwc951__no never use any power washer or steamer on either my 944 or this one, all by hand.Same for waxing the exterior no buffer elbow grease only .

Beautiful job! Beautiful car! I see you've said that you've never used a steamer. Did you use something like Simple Green on the engine and engine bay? I've got to attack mine, but don't want to use Gunk or something like that.
