Just bought a 2009 C4S - black paint is spotless with a clear bra covering the front half of the hood...er, bonnet. I can open it w/o putting hand prints on the paint, but how do those of you with black paint close it w/o smudging the paint? I can keep a MF towel in the car, but is there a better solution? One can't simply 'drop' the bonnet from, say 12' - 24" inches, b/c the spring latch is too strong. Solutions?

 

When I first read this and saw "MF towel", I was impressed with your use a profane acronym. I mean, this is a Porsche, I can't use no regular towel, I need an m'effen towel for this biatch!

Then I realized you meant microfiber.

You have to manually push the frunk closed the last little bit. Some dudes press down on the crest, others use their shirt sleeve. I think your MF towel is probably a best practice.

 

Disposable rubber gloves. I buy boxes of the 100 count.

And stay out of the frunk. The engine's in the rear, anyways.

 

Frunk, what frunk? : >)

 

I use my knee, placed just in front of the crest, to gently press the ferunk through to it's final "click". Try that. You could wear MF pants...

 

I generally use my Johnson, gently on the crest till it clicks...

 

LOL. Do you wear any form of MF protection?

 

welcome to the club. you are going to fit in here just fine.

 

Bareback, but if I was closing your bonnet I would wear protection...

 

+1, lol

 

I usually make the frunk monkey pull it the last bit from the inside.

 

Get a room, guys!

 

Wearing blue jeans, I just close it with the knee, too. Never have to touch a thing.

 

Serious? I would not even do this to a rental Porsche.

 

But I usually clay and wax after each closure...
