I give up trying to keep her clean - that aerodynamic air curtain is to blame: the front wheels throw all their muck through the slot behind them, then transports it via the air curtain and efficiently deposits it in the low pressure area along the doors. Same problem as the Aston DB 11 suffers from seemingly.
Otherwise - a pleasure to drive (except for that overactive alarm- which I’m sure Porsche will fix soon).

Ceramic coating will help - a lot.

My biggest complaint with the aerodynamics and dirt is that every single panel of the car will be clean except for the trunk and rear bumper.
I also love how water, often dirty water, pours into the trunk when opening it after driving in wet or dirty conditions. Absolutely terrific, love getting dirty water all over my stuff.

Do you have the electric charge ports or the manual ones? I wasn't sure if speccing the electric ports blocked the air curtain behind the front wheels, due to the extra electronics in the area. Would be good to know though!

I don’t have the electric charge ports option.

My dealer recommended to order the electric charge port door, to avoid exactly this issue. Apparently the air curtains will be blocked with the e-port, but not with the manual one.
