I'm current doing a test on one wheel where I coated the area between one pair of spokes with Rejex, the next area with the Kenotech Pro detailing spray I normally use for touch-up, and a third area with the Armor-All Wheel Protectant spray I see touted here occasionally. Then I'll have side-by-side evidence of which one helps, if any. Now if it would just stop raining so I could get out and generate some fresh brake dust for the test. I'll take some photos if anything meaningful results.

Satin black Carrera S wheels really hide the normal brake dust well, FYI, if you're not hooked on the centerlocks.

Color concluded --> Crayon
Specs concluded --> LWBs, RAS, normal red calipers, read seatbelts and red sport Chrono package.
What is pending is the decision to order now and take delivery in 4 months or wait 4 months and order 992 with delivery in Q1 2019.
Quite interesting how color change based on light.

In case I spec LWBs, it is possible in the future to install normal 4 way sport seats?
I would appreciate any solid input as next week I will place my order.
Thank you so much,

My dream car just ordered.
White non metallic due to the fact that I will proceed with Full Matt PPF.
I removed the LWBs in order to make it more comfortable for daily use and keep the standard 4 way sport buckets seats of GTS.
Rear Axle Steering.
Guard Red Sport Chrono and seat belts.
A 911 GTS is coming. What a sense....
End of July flight to Germany for factory collection.
Many thanks for all the input and support.

Congrats! What a relief to have that part done.
Now....don't start second guessing yourself.
You put the time into it to get it right the first time. Now time to enjoy the wait and eventually the drive!

Order confirmed for production in June 2018.
Last date for any changes 24th April.
Wife asked me to go for graphite blue. I explain her that I do not like graphite blue with red calipers.
Graphite Blue is perfect with yellow calipers.
Result was to make me a gift the upgrade from standard white colour and steel brakes to Graphite Blue and PCCBs.
I decided to go for LWBs with memory function.
Final debate was if sport Chrono and seat belts should be racing yellow or guards red
and I gave the final decision to my wife.
Next week I will receive from AD the date for EU Delivery.

I have to adopt my wife request for the graphite blue. I consider is fair to have the option choose the colour of the car although I choose all the rest including the car...
I am still confused if I should spec PCCBs or not...
It is my first Porsche therefore no clear understanding.
I plan to track the car for 5-10 hours per year after three years of ownership, therefore not quite sure is PCCCB or Steel GTS brakes are better for my case.
As I have mentioned I plan to keep this car for long time that is why I went finally with new order and specific build.

Seems people who track heavily seem to favor steel due to extreme replacement costs.
PCCB is an ideal street solution. If I was speccing a new GTS, I'd get them. Beyond performance, the dust reduction is huge. Black wheels show dust worse than any other color. It shows up as a nasty brown film immediately after one drive. The CL wheels are also harder to clean. PCCB brakes are jewel like as well and nicely fill up the wheel.
