But the other day I saw a tiny bit of bug or sap and wiped it with a bit of pressure and saw a few scratches appear.. really illustrating how soft this paint is.

Is there any detailing resource online specifically for porsche?

Id also love to hit it with one of those duster things, but I assume they're probably pretty bad for it, since its basically moving dirt all over the car.
You're wiping it DRY????

I solved that problem with my 2013 black 911: I traded it in for a white one four months later and never looked back.



The car was indeed beautiful, but I was spending way too much time removing the swirl marks. If you're super picky, black will keep your pressure up ... literally.
