Default Bedding in PCCB

Hey new to the forum, 991 Gt3 will be my first Porsche. Was wondering how to properly bed-in PCCB's.

ask the service advisor. On my GT3s it was pretty standard and I ran Porsche greens on both 996 and 997.
I am sure the service department would be happy to do it for you as part of the delivery :-)

I've had 2 cars with PCCBs now and just took it relatively easy for the first few hundred miles, as I would with normal brakes and no issues.
I don't think there's any specific way to bed them in to be honest.
One strange thing you might notice if you wash the car, is that the brakes hardly work at all for the first 100m or so. Not 100% sure why this is, I think it's because the soap sticks to the disks and take a while to get cleaned off properly.
Other than that I think they are a great choice.

From my understanding there is no break in procedure for PCCB.. just take it easy.

The 991 TTS is my first car with ceramics. I have always heard about the lack of braking after a car wash. I have run my car through the car wash 3 or 4 times already and was looking for that effect. They brake just fine, so I suspect the new PCCBs have addressed this particular issue, among others.

Yes, basically one or two steps to gradually bring them up to operating temp, and another to bed in. It makes a difference. I did that on my way to the track for the first time.
