Put a fresh PCA sticker in my back window. They say it's good for -.1 sec. 0-60

Nice and clean What do you use for dressing under there? Are you using armor all type products or something else??

Thanks

What a coincidence, I put a new PCA sticker on my car too but in my front window...

I also took it for a nice spin around town.

Still wet in the pictures, looks nice eh
I might hit it with a detail/plastic spray(such as 'Meguiars pro vinyl/rubber') at somepoint to liven it up like the picture, helps the brake/road/tire dust fall off easier
don't say 'armour all' near a car you like
cheers,

Put on the car cover. Taking that thing off and back on every time is going to be a pain though

My guess is this will lead to you not using the car cover when the 996 Turbo is in the garage.

A gave up on the car covers long ago. Too much work, and unless your garage is really dusty, I don't see the need. I can see using them if storing for 4-6 months. I don't ever let them sit that long.

I used to do the same, but gave it up years ago. My garage is very clean, and covering it when the car is in there is not doing anything in the car's favor.

Especially if it is wet or dirty. You should only put a cover on a dry, clean car. Otherwise, you are doing more damage than protection.

Put in Rennlist pedals and had a fun drive out and back from not so fun Christmas shopping.
