The issue is hydrophobic (as someone has reported coming out of Porsche on the root cause) then shrinking the inner material may not happen right away until the material interacts with water in the air and the flap is actually flush when it leaves the factory and during shipping time it...
Those spyder wheels are full gloss black, right?, (not satin black or jet black metallic)? They look to be the full gloss ones, but just asking because I may pick up a set for my dolomite silver Macan 4, and the configurator does not show a big difference between some of these variations.
Nope garage all the time. This top photo below is what the grey side looks like at 25 - 30 feet away. So looks pretty black, right? But you're looking at the grey version as you can see it at 10 feet (second photo). Same car in similar light. The third photo is my Macan at 8 feet with the...
I think we are talking 50 shades of grey now.
Below is a photo of my 2024 Volvo (so not old). On the right is the trim after using a general detailing product (so no dirt and looks black at a distance). In the middle is the Engine Brightner to blacken plastic, and on the left is a...
Yes. I put Macan 4 on my side blades. They pealed up after 2 months. The edges collect dirt and Frey. If I were to do it again I would put PPF on top to protect them from the weather and washing assuming that would work. Down side of that would be more expensive to remove if you wanted to...
I would have to revisit putting ceramic coating on, as it seems like it should last longer than typical detailing products. I do have XPEL ceramic boost but all that does is repel water better adding to its hydro properties. It does not make it blacker or change the shine.
So I did not find much about how to best care for all of the plastic trim. If you're a non-turbo owner, you get matte black trim (aside from some gloss black you can spec in). This is what most manufactures provide, especially along the running board area, wheel wells, front and rear bumper...
I recently went on a trip and plugged in a camping cooler, and it worked fine, meeting my goal. However, anything else is questionable. The "rugged" trim would be the off-road package, and if I ever upgrade, I think I would get it for the extra height but also I recently saw one up close and...
What are people finding to be the best tires (tyres) for comfort and road noise? I understand the tire lottery provides a possible set from Perrelli, Michelin, and Bridgestone... are there any others I missed? For the sake of comparison, specify 20, 21 or 22 as they of course, will impact the...
Funny, listening to this review, I realized this is how folks who do not own a Porsche will review it, and honestly, this is how I would have reviewed it before I bought one. I came in focusing on the price and what options I could live without (just getting what I need or even what would be...
I had mine adjusted flush by the dealer in about 2 hours (or less) to a flush result. If the lining is bending the material because it is absorbing moisture, then the adjustments are bending it back, which kind of makes sense. Since mine has not budged after the one adjustment, I would have...
Yes, I had the scorpion set on 20 inch standard rims with all season tires.and they are very quiet and smooth. Note I do not have the thermal glass so even with the standard glass and a wiper config, they are good.
Can a leather repair shop not fix this? I have watched a lot of videos of leather seat repair and this seems well within the scope of what they could do
@Redtiger F17 Elite review.
I opted for dash cam prewiring for my Macan, but I wanted to try it out, so I installed it in my Volvo XC40, as I intend to use the prewired option. However, if you did not pick that option, then this cam is a good alternative. I created a few videos so you can see...
