When you purchase a Porsche you're not just buying a car. You've acquired a masterpiece of automotive art and like any work of art, your Porsche needs protection particularly from the Florida sun. Without the proper precautions, your Porsche will inevitably sustain severe damage, not just to its appearance but to key components as well. In Florida, it is possible for the exterior of cars to reach and even exceed 100â—¦ in direct sunlight. Temperatures like that can affect both the exterior and interior of your Porsche. However, with planning and a minimum of effort along with the assistance of Porsche South Orlando, you can make sure your Porsche looks as pristine as the day you bought it.
To protect your Porsche, here are a few things keep in mind the following tips:
Whenever possible park in the shade to avoid direct sunlight. This will keep your interior and exterior of your Porsche from drying and cracking.A windshield sun protector is an affordable and easy to use method to prevent sun damage. It also reduces the interior temperature of your Porsche.
Seat and steering wheel covers are an effective and stylish way to protect the leather which covers the seats and steering wheel in your Porsche from the sun's damaging effects. Seat covers also stay cooler than leather, so no more sliding into the "hot seat".
Wash and dry your exterior often. Sun and heat can cause the paint of your car fade and crack. Frequent washing and hand drying removes dirt and dust, which can dull your Porsche's finish.
In addition to washing your Porsche on a regular basis, you should wax it as well. This adds an extra layer of protection from ultraviolet rays.
Check your tires and their pressure at regular intervals. The hot roads of Florida can take a heavy toll on the rubber of your tires. Even the premium-level tires that come with your Porsche can lose about one pound of air pressure a month due to the Florida heat. Under-inflated tires can easily lead to blowouts, wheel damage and other problems, which can be costly. Therefore, checking the tires on your Porsche regularly is extremely important.
