* Water Pressure: Touchless car washes use high-pressure water jets. While this is effective for removing dirt, the force can potentially damage the convertible top material, especially if it's not properly sealed or secured.
* Soap and Chemicals: Some touchless car washes use strong cleaning chemicals that could potentially damage the fabric or stitching of the convertible top.
* Air Dryers: Touchless car washes often use powerful air dryers to dry the vehicle. The strong airflow could potentially blow the top open or cause it to flap, leading to damage.
The safest bet is to hand-wash your Boxster S, especially when it comes to the convertible top. This allows you to use gentler cleaning methods and avoid any potential damage.
Here are some tips for cleaning your Boxster S convertible top:
* Use a soft brush: Avoid harsh scrubbing that can damage the fabric.
* Choose a mild cleaner: Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the fabric's protective coating.
* Rinse thoroughly: Remove all traces of soap and dirt.
* Let it air dry: Avoid using a hairdryer or other heat sources that can damage the fabric.
By taking these precautions, you can keep your Porsche Boxster S looking its best without risking any damage.
