Ok, you win. My wheels are hard to keep clean. On the fronts I have Alcon discs with Pagid pads. Great performance, but a nightmare to keep clean.

Today, mine has been washed and driven round the block to dry the brakes. Now she's back in the garage awaiting a bit o' wax tomorrow.

Finally fitted a new upgraded top hose (an advisory from a Porsche service earlier in the year the old one was chafing on the engine mount) and low temp thermostat. Refilling and bleeding is a bit tedious but I think I have got most of the air out. Couple of jobs still to do related to my temperature indicator intermittent failure, the current suspects being the connectors between the temp sensor and connectors which eventually go to the instrument pod. The other issue is overcooling which I think is a leaky vacuum line to the valve on the tiptronic maybe tomorrow for the electrickery if the garage hasn't been washed away in the current monsoon!

Fitted 4 new tyres today. Not the best day to test out a new set of boots. :roll:

Full geometry and alignment set up done. I don't want to be replacing my tyres again this side of 2014. :lol:
