You need a plastic trim tool to scrape the larger chunks of foam adhesive but it's mostly the Goof Off. I plan to ceramic coat the wheels to see how well it works for brake dust.

Goof off is slow, I spray a little bit of carb cleaner on a rag and rub it on the adhesive, comes right off! Don't spray it everywhere!

I bought it! 99 C2, 59k miles. First Porsche; picked it up from a family member who hadn't been driving it too much in the past year (back issues). Had its major service in late 2018, oil change about 3 months (and very few miles) ago. Replaced the flat-spotted tires and am having a blast with it so far.

Beautiful car! Just like mine minus the wheels and interior color, and rear wiper.

Default HVAC fan install

The hvac fan in my 2004 C4S has been whining for quite a while. I looked at the 101 projects book, easy Wayne says:-). Of course that was on a no glovebox 99 car. I finally figured out how to remove the glove box and eventually got it back together.
