This seems like a dumb question but how do you wash a 914?
Pat mentioned in the topic on waxing that he hasn't washed his car in 6 years. It raised the question in my mind. Is that best and normal for 914's? Since I bought my 914 in December it hasn't been washed. Since I've learned more about them since then (stuff like "there is nothing like a rust free 914" etc.) I've been afraid to wash the thing. It'll be a "fun" car, (maybe a few "fun" shows along the way)and garaged all the time but even now, after a few nice spins, it needs washed. So, I'll ask Pat to elaborate on his dry method. Also, any other practical tips from other long time 914 owners would be appreciated. Thanks Steve |

Im not crazy about the idea of the front trunk seal being glued in. I used 3M adhesive cleaner to get the glue off the paint. The seal itself retains moisture. The water may eventually work its way in there. Only takes a couple minutes to pop it in and out and wipe it dry. Personal preference I suppose, but that is a typical area where 914's rust.
