That looks great! With the 991.2 wheel, you can not re-use the airbag, correct?

You cannot reuse the airbag from a 991.1.

Brought out my 10 year old pressure washer to give my car it's first bath, and the damn hose connection broke. Oh well, just in time to upgrade!
Had to do the old two bucket method, but she cleaned up real nice.
Ordered some more cleaning supplies, Lake Country pads, too.

I've put 1650 miles on it this month... surface rust happens when you detail wash it and they get wet and it sits for a hour when it's 90F and humid.

Cur - thePorsche Gods are sending a message - “Power wash”? You wound up doing it correctly or you have chosen wisely :-)

The power washer is for a foam cannon, not direct usage on the car. After you've used a foam cannon, everything else seems like more work for less payout.

Removed some bits of PPF from the previous owner. The job done was not up to my standard but I may decide to just leave it since it's protected (fascia, hood, front fenders). But they did strips on the rear fender, door edges and door handles (!!) which were just dirt traps. And the door handle ones created a rough edge when grabbing the handles.

Removed that **** and happily little or no residue.

What did I do to my 991 yesterday? Bought a tank of gas @ $2.37/Litre. That's US$6.84/US gallon for my American friends.

Wow! That’s the same price as a litre of V Power Super Unleaded at my local Shell station here in the UK!

I thought you guys in North America had cheap petrol/gas!?
