I loved that car and often think of trying to get another..

So on average you only keep a car for around 7 months before moving it on? Not long before the 992 goes thenJon A wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 5:33 pmYou got me thinking Mac, and have wasted the latter part of the afternoon listing all the cars I’ve had since 1982, (Toyota Corolla).

Yes sort of. I’ve owned two and even three simultaneously (have two at moment) but have never kept cars very long. I think the longest was about 2.5 years.Skyway wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 7:58 pmSo on average you only keep a car for around 7 months before moving it on?

992 is by far and away best car I have ever had for many reasons, so it might beat the current record!?

I also quite enjoy cleaning the GTS standard wheels - I use a wheel mitt and the gaps in the spokes fit my hand and the mitt perfectly. Simply wipe up and down each spoke.
Of course there are probably simpler wheels - but they won't look as good!

Spokes fine - but how do you clean the calipers and the vast expanse of wheel behind the spokes?

Unless your hands are the size of shovels then it's not a problem. Minimal break dust helps especially if you use a pressure washer any dirt on the calipers just disappears. As for behind the spokes; that's concours standard Less visible on black wheels helps, I guess.Bluesnose1812 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 2:46 pmSpokes fine - but how do you clean the calipers and the vast expanse of wheel behind the spokes?

But honestly a bit of wheel cleaner and a jet wash has been enough for in there - never really that dirty. I like to 'detail' but I rarely go the whole way on the areas you can't see.

I wouldn’t use this, the plastic tip inevitably falls off exposing vicious twisted wire ends that will cut grooves in your alloys. Wheel Woolies are the way to go. https://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/whe ... b-kit.aspxPlyphon wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 5:59 pmBarrel brush -Bluesnose1812 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 2:46 pmSpokes fine - but how do you clean the calipers and the vast expanse of wheel behind the spokes?
