S 8.6.4 Interior painting, soft-look paint

The soft-look paint used in the paint finish of interior parts as of the model year 2000 cannot, due its special material properties, be re-created during repairs using the procedures available at the present time. In the event of damage, the affected vehicle parts must be replaced by new parts.

Special notes for the care of soft-look paint surfaces

CAUTION:
- Damage to the soft-look paint coat if the cleaning agents or solvents available as accessories for cleaning the vehicle interior are used. This also applies to the use of plastic polish 999.901.021.41 from the Porsche care set.
- The contents of these agents etch the paint coat (paint swells, rubber-like texture). Consequently, the paint coat can separate from the substrate when a mechanical load is applied.
- Furthermore, the surface may shine brightly after using the cleaning agents.

Based on laboratory tests, the following procedure is recommended for the care and cleaning of soft-look paint surfaces, depending on the level of soiling.

Lightly soiled areas can be cleaned using any of the following cleaning aids and cleaning fluids:
