TTS cab scheduled to arrive 1/7, already have winters tires lined up. My wife has a huge suv

Given the strength of used car market, I may sell the taycan and get another one later and just daily the TTS

Any reason this is a dumb idea?
Winter grime and the soft top... can I run it through a touch less wash or will the chemicals ruin it?

Thanks!

Couple of rules for the road:
1. Don’t let snow build up and place weight on top
2. Never store your top down especially wet.
3. Clean/treat the top once every season with RAGG top cleaner/treatment
4. I treated the top with a ceramic treatment. Works amazingly well.

New York / Connecticut driving zone (sloppy winter weather for sure) while i don't daily it thru the winter, i do use it - the grime is always the same....i wash it all off pretty much immediately, otherwise it gets thick

I hose off the convertible top - simple enough - there are cleaning products for it that i haven't bothered with yet

I wouldn't use a car wash of any kind, but that's just me (and probably more than half the people on this forum)

Good Luck - Enjoy the Drive !

I use Scotchguard weekly on my top during the winter for beading up the water, etc......works great....

You really should get this product. A must have

Thanks all, will look into rag top
My spyder top only sees water and lint roller, but the top is almost always stowed away anyhow

Used it and sold it for YEARS

why does a Stanley Steamer approach come to mind when i think of cleaning a convertible top ?

I’ve had a cab and know the coupe. Personally I would never drive these cars in the winter. It just makes zero sense to me. Besides the extra cost in tires and wheels, can you really enjoy a 640hp car in the winter and if so at what cost. My neighbor was recently rear ended in his Tahoe. Minor damage. Three months to get fixed in these times. No thank you, but to each their own.

In for service: Tires, (probably an alignment - they pushed it on me - not convinced it would need it from simple street use @ 12,000 miles) - Oil change, and some Porsche love (replacing a door panel due to poor leather texture, at dealers suggestion...it took 10 months to arrive)

Convertible Top is clean....

Can make similar arguments that about any $250K car in any weather/use cases: they're allegedly discretionary things for rich guys

But would also argue, if a HNW guy, don't know of a safer active/passive vehicle than a 992TTS (on appropriate tires) driven intelligently....and can't ever buy back one's health post-crash

And those really worried about health/safety vs cars would never drive any Cab in any weather (w/zero protection vs brain/spine in a major crash scenario) or a >2yo anything, given risks of elderly airbag systems

Leased/insured cars, replaced annually, are trivial costs of living for anyone who can afford $250K cars, not unlike iPhones, but w/far greater health implications in any crash scenario

Buy a 4Runner. Don’t disrespect a Porsche by subjecting it to slush and salt.
