Keeping Your Beloved Car Beautiful: Are We a “Protection Film Family” or a “Glass Coating...

“When you buy a car, do you think it’s better to apply a protection film or to get a coating?” This is a question I often get asked. This time, I’d like to share my family’s (my husband’s) perspective on this question. Protection Film vs. Glass Coating A protection film is a transparent film applied to protect the car’s paint surface. It’s especially applied to areas prone to stone chips and scratches, like the front...

This time, I’m diving into a rather niche topic: the correct way to install wheels on our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model). For those who have owned air-cooled Porsches for years, this might seem like “Oh, it’s just that simple,” but this article also reveals Porsche’s deep dedication to driving performance, so I’d like to share it with you. Genuine Porsche Wheel Nuts and Theft-Prevention Nuts The genuine Porsche nuts used on models like the...

The Ultimate Leather Seat Cleaner: “Easy Wipe”

Previously, while touring with my younger brother in a 911 Dakar, he mentioned an unbeatable leather seat cleaner. My brother isn’t the type to wash or maintain his car actively, but he was unusually enthusiastic about this cleaner, saying he’s bought several bottles over the years. He kept insisting, “You absolutely have to get this too!” So, I decided to give it a try and will share my review here. Leather Cleaner “Easy Wipe” The...

Porsche Ride Comfort Changes Dramatically with Tire Pressure Settings｜Check Yours Now

Running this blog gives me plenty of opportunities to drive many Porsches, and lately, I’ve almost always been able to guess the tire pressure correctly. While I can’t pinpoint it down to 0.1 bar, if the pressure is just a bit high or low, I can tell after driving just a few dozen meters. Recently, I’ve driven models like the 992, Carrera S, Macan Turbo, and 992 Turbo S, and have given advice on tire...

How to Break In Your Porsche

Recently, my wife finished the break-in period for our newly purchased 992 Carrera T, and now we are in the process of breaking in the 718 Carrera T. I’ve mentioned break-in driving several times in past blog posts, but this time I want to share our approach and philosophy on break-in driving, including some new insights we’ve gained since then. Is a break-in period necessary for Porsche? Nowadays, many manufacturers claim that break-in driving is...

Recommended Mineral Off Car Wash

Last year, a Keeper Labo opened nearby, so I’ve been frequently visiting for coating and car washes for my beloved vehicles. I plan to write a detailed article about coating another time, but this time, I want to introduce Keeper Labo’s “Mineral Off Car Wash.” Please note, this article is not a typical promotional piece for Keeper. It’s simply my honest impression after personally paying for the service. What is Mineral Off Car Wash? If...

Test Drive the Porsche 911 Type 996｜A Masterpiece That Deserves More Recognition!

Porsche 911 Type 996 On this blog, I have experienced and reported on quite a number of 911s, from the original 911 to the ’73 Carrera and all the way to the 992 GT3, but for some reason, there are hardly any articles about the 996 and 997. Regarding the 996, I have done only one review of a later model Carrera 4S, but that car had modified suspension and wheels, so it wasn’t a...

Replacing the Boxster’s Factory Navigation with a Display Audio｜DMH-SZ700 Review

Dissatisfaction with the Factory Navigation The Japanese-spec 981 and early 991 models come equipped with a factory Clarion navigation system. Originally, the domestic models come with Porsche’s own navigation system called PCM, similar to the late 991 and 718 models, but for some reason, the Japanese-spec cars have this different setup. This has some surprisingly significant drawbacks. First, the design feels like an aftermarket add-on. More importantly, while the domestic PCM systems output digital audio,...

What to Do When Your Porsche Boxster’s Battery Dies: A Handy Guide

My Boxster’s Battery Died At the end of last year, I hadn’t driven my Boxster for a while. I think it was left unused for over a month and a half. Then, one day at year-end, I tried to get in the Boxster and pressed the key button, but there was no response at all. The key’s light was on, so the key itself seemed fine. I tried several times, but still no reaction. It...
