washed it
My slightly used (about 3,000 miles) 2014 C4S cabriolet arrived 10 days ago, and I have been driving it every chance I get. Yesterday I left it at home so my wife could take it out for the day.
It was pretty dirty when it arrived, after spending too much time on the truck. Anyway, I didn't have the correct stuff on hand to wash it when it got here, so I drove it dirty.
Well, I've finally washed it. Picture attached! Also included a screenshot of the options.
I have no idea why I waited this long to buy a Porsche...
Before I put it away for the winter I've scheduled a professional detail. I'm planning on a level I color correction followed by Opti-Coat, still figuring out if I'm doing a clear bra.

You're going to love the OptiCoat.

Two surprises so far:
1. I was on the fence about the Mahogany, but it looks good in person. Not overdone, like my friend's Lexus or my wife's old Toyota.
2. I am not crazy uptight about it. I thought I was going to be freakishly over-protective, but this car is fun and I'm going to enjoy it by driving it. I'm even letting my wife drive it, and she is pretty much a disaster when it comes to caring for cars.

My advice is to clear bra it.

Beautiful car!
Congrats.
We have exactly the same car up until your power steering plus. And of course yours a nice cab and a 4. You'll love the opti coat.
Enjoy. Sorry you have to put it away for the winter.

I sort of like the orange side marker lights on the silver car I have coming. Gives a little contrasting bling as do the red S calipers to a silver car.
Of course I drove a school bus back in college so I am partial to orange on vehicles!

Congrat's on a Beautiful 991!
That color choice looks very rich, and sporty at the same time.
If you can, post up a few more pics and the interior as well. I haven't seen any with the Mahogany trim...
