Re: Cayenne GTS (2013) - Short Review
DoubledDoubledDoubled:
Congratulations on the very special car! The exterior colour is the best you can get from limited Cayenne colour range and is really understated. I wonder what Porsche is suggesting to do to maintain that alcantara wheel as it is now? Because with time it gets more "polished" which is not so nice - I have this problem in my CSL.
I had an Alcantara steering wheel in my C63 too and it held up quite well...surprisingly. I try to wash my hands before I drive the car (fat/dirt buildup from the hands influence the Alcantara look and feel a lot) and so far, this "strategy" has worked pretty well. I also try to avoid to drive my car immediately after I used hand cream. If you have sweaty hands, I suggest using leather gloves, especially in summer. They feel great, they look nice and they provide that special grip you need when driving fast. I am not talking about pro grade racing gloves but those nice classic thin leather gloves (see photo).
