The official Alcantera website states not to put a stain guard on it. Just clean with a damp cloth. So far mine has 6k miles on it and looks brand new still.

congrats !

GTS is my fav 997.

not sure why u need an indoor car cover.. but keep in mind the cover will cause more problem if ur car is not completely clean or dry when u cover it.

BTW that salesman did a good job switching u.. actually, a great job since the dealership got a sale and u r happy, too. LOL

You may have saw my threads and posts over the past 7 months asking about buying advice and asking for advice on cars I was considering. Many nights I hovered over my keyboard searching for 'that car'. I can happily say that I've retired from searching! It was a full time job. I was looking for an 09 4s. My rationale for wanting that car. 1) I love the wide body. I wanted the '4' for the wide body, not the awd. 2) I wanted the updated DFI motor. 3) I wanted the updated technology (LEDs, Bluetooth, etc.). Aside from this full leather was a must.

I went to my local dealership around lunch today. I stop in every few weeks to ask if any 4S's have come in. I asked my usual question and the answer was the same it had been for the past couple of months. No 4S's.

The salesman (who did a great job) said why are you so stuck on a 4S? I gave him my reasons above and he turned me onto what I ultimately purchased today. It is a beauty!!!!

I pick it up on Tuesday. I'm in LOVE.

I brought the car down to Phil at Top of the Line Tint today to have the front of the car 3M wrapped. Bumper, Full Hood, Full Front Fenders, Rockers, Headlights, DRLs, Rear Splash Guards.

I took a few more pictures pre-wrap. I also handed Phil the clear side markers I purchased from SunCoast to install since he will have to remove the old amber lights anyway to do the custom wrap.

I'm in love.

Sweeeet! What a nicely optioned car! I wouldn't bother with an indoor cover unless you're really not going to drive it much. I'd worry more about putting a cover on a car with road particles on it and scratching the clear coat. Just go drive it more and enjoy!!!

I don't plan to use the cover every time I park the car in the garage. I figured it would be good for the winter months, when the car will be sitting for a few months untouched.
