On the other hand, my Turbo gets washed pretty regularly since it's been in the shop so much.....

Hasn't 'xactly been car washin' weather here either for a bit - I should get onto this weekend though - got a few months of crud accumulating myself.

jastx is infamous around these parts
You need to polish and wax those rotors!

When I joined the Porsche Club (NNJR Region) back in the '70's, I got hooked up with the Concours gang and I was cleaning the underside with Q-tips and afraid to drive the car.

It was a habit I fought unsucessfully to break with my 1998 C4S and 1989 930 Slantnose. They were garage queens that, sadly, hardly ever saw the road.

I finally got rid of my Porsches and drove an MX-5 daily for three years before acquiring my current 997 in January. Now, it's in the garage -- but it's the parking garage at work...with dust and dirt on it. I'm cured and drive it every nice day.

I still see the good in giving it a thorough topside, underside, inside the wheels cleaning -- even waxing the brake calipers -- every once in awhile. But now, although still special, it's just "my car" and that's how I drive it, at least on sunny days.

Congratulations on overcoming your problem. Perhaps you can pass on some tips to Stacy.

Ken,I am coming to the realization that IT IS a PROBLEM and once it is OFF the jack-stands I am going to take it for a drive....even IF there is a cloud in the sky!
