With the wide-open spaces and long stretches of highway, driving your Porsche in Central Florida can be exhilarating. However, there are certain aspects of our roadways that can reduce the enjoyment factor. Thankfully, most of these are avoidable. Porsche South Orlando is happy to share a few tips with you so you can maximize your enjoyment of your Porsche and minimize the worry about something happening to it.
Construction:
As a global destination for tourism and business as well being a growing community, there is always a large number of construction projects happening in the Orlando metropolitan area. Few other places can present so many road hazards for your Porsche as you simply drive by. Construction sites generate dust, debris, stray nails, broken glass and other items that can do serious damage to your Porsche. The best way to avoid the possibility of damage is to avoid construction sites altogether. A detour might be inconvenient but not as inconvenient (not to mention expensive) as having to fix your Porsche.
There are numerous apps and web sites which will show you the best route to take in order to avoid construction sites like https://i4ultimate.com/ which provides timely information on the status of the I-4 Ultimate.
Water:
Of course, any Florida resident knows that we get our share of rain. Additionally, once the rain falls, in some locations it has nowhere to go and can take a long time to eventually drain or evaporate. Having to deal with excessive amounts of water from above and below can be problematic for any Porsche owner but especially if you own a low-riding model like a 911 or a Boxster. To protect your Porsche from rain damage, be sure to have a coat of high quality water resistant wax professionally applied every time you have it washed. Regular waxing will maintain a layer of protection from the rain and the sun. Avoid parking your Porsche in areas with no drainage as levels can rise vey quickly and water could find its way inside your vehicle causing damage sure to cost thousands.
Love Bugs:
Love is in the air and so are these pesky insects which can splatter against the entire front end of your Porsche, leaving a nasty mess. If you would prefer to avoid this nuisance altogether, be aware that love bugs mate for four weeks in May and again in September and are active from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. They are particularly active in temperatures above 84 degrees. With this information, you might be able to reduce the amount of bug guts on the front of your Porsche. However, if you do get some love bug residue on your front end or windshield all you need is some water and a dryer sheet to remove any insect remains without damaging the exterior of your Porsche.
