Washing a 996

[Joe K]

When I'm washing my 996 coupe, should I be careful to not get too much water into/thru the spoiler? I assume that the water that goes thru the spoiler ends up on the engine, so should I let the engine cool way down before washing the exterior?

Normally I do a low pressure rince, and then I wash by hand. If and when I do use a high pressure spray-washer I am careful and make sure not to directly blast seals or mouldings or the engine lid directly. It depends, some people are truly and absolutly nutty about how they wash and the waxs and so on. I am not a detail specialist, but I can say that do be sure to use a quality cleaning agent. It depends on how dirty you're vehicle is.

Anyways, eeeeennnjooyyy

I try to do a final filtered water rinse anywhere I can't dry by hand to minimize water spots etc.
