SO MANY EASIER WAYS THAT ARE BETTER….
Best and easiest way that I’ve found
Use old school Glass Wax, best ever, if you can find it.
Never heard of that one, where do you get it?
The Barrie automotive swap meet is only a shadow of what it once was , demographics change, I attended the north bay/callander this past June, plenty of attendees looking for parts
Seems like they are missing an opportunity?
This can’t count to 120!
Cleaning the inside of the windshield takes 2 minutes
I just use plain water & a microfiber cloth. Easy easy.
Does that actually get rid of the haze and the streaks?
And we are breathing in all that off gassing. If the window gets that bad, whats going on in us?
Great question
Aw, I don’t have a wife to ask about a towel. Maybe my husband will have to do this job.
Yes and then they can ask you for the towel?
What a load of messing about, the inside of the screen is very difficult to clean
Sure is, which is why this method makes it easier
Newspaper doesn’t work anymore as they don’t use the same type of ink as they used to
Yes, I’ve heard that too
Ahh Miami Blue, the poor man's Mexico Blue.
Sheesh…..or just the perfect shade of blue.
It's been a lot of years since I've been to Barry first year I went was 1969 I haven't been for 10 years because all that there is crap
Agreed!
You were really early, the automotive swap meet in Barrie started in 1971 , I started going in 1980-1981
I love my 718 Spyder. Glad I got the PDK
Couldn’t agree more! Please share video with friends and family
My hats off to you guy's that have spotless cars. I'm usually so busy my dash is dusty and I have dead bugs on the inside of the windshield besides outside. 👍
Well when you do get around to it at least now you’ll know how.
I stopped going to Barrie swap meet 15 years ago. On my way out I told the lady at the exit gate that I can go to a flee market for 50 cents if I want to buy clothes or dishes. It is far from auto parts only. Can only imagine what the entry fee is.
I honestly don’t remember, but as I paid I thought it would have been more compared to 15 years ago.
Best mod I did so far was the Kline income exhaust (headers and OAPs). Really wakes up the sound.
I’m sure it does but isn’t it super loud and boomy when on the highway or do you use ear plugs?
I stopped vending there 10 yrs ago after 20 yrs of going. I got tired of hearing the last owner bitch about his problems ect. over the loud speakers daily and there was more crap being sold not car stuff . Many good memories tho.
If it changes any more they'll have to change the name
Excellent point! Barrie Non Automotive Flea Martket
Nice colour on the Porsche
Thank you, it sure is.
Sounds like the most expensive way. Lots of supplies.
Not at all, the dawn dishwashing soap you already have or can also use for dishes. Microfiber towels are used for all sorts of things in addition to this. So all that is extra are the wand and squeege that will last you 20 years.
How ugly is that piece of Metall 🙈 … and the color 😅 Only 911 - nothing else 😍
Is someone Jealous?
@@GaryTheCarNut no, definitely no 😅 if I would get this as gift I would drive 0 miles and sell it directly 👍
I use Mr Clean magic eraser
It does work but it’s too abrasive like fine sandpaper
Wow you're only missing the kitchen sink.
No kitchen sink needed
I use a product called Brilliant Glaze on the inside once and then just use a microfiber towel every once in a while if I see anything on it.
Good to know, but does that keep removing the film from off gassing?
Paper towels and windex works for me.
Really, I’ve always found I see streaks when driving into the sun afterwards when using windex and paper towels and it’s really tough to get right to the edges and corners.
I have a difficult windshield to clean as in I have tried many different professional products and non-professional products including Dawn soap. Have talked to 2 different windshield dealers. They have determined, that there is probably a defect in the windshield. Unfortunately, I’m the second owner and the car (2019 Ford Edge) is out of warranty. For $700 I can get a new windshield, but can’t quite swing that, yet.
I suppose you tried varsol? If not a stone will find your windshield one day soon.
This is a joke. You rub with hope not wash with soap.
Or you can follow the directions in the video and actually get it done.
Good grief! Do we need a kitchen sink too?? Geeeez!
Nope, just what’s shown in the video. Makes the process easy and most importantly streak free
Been over 25 years since I was last there !
Yes, it was great then but just about everything I liked about it has changed
Boy have things ever changed at this event, not what I was expecting!
Miami Blue (or Shark or Gentian) with Silver Wheels is perfect!
Couldn’t agree more.
I bet you could do that in two minutes. 😹
True, very true!
Key specific seat memory has been available since 987 boxster 😊
Yup, I had in my Boxster S but doesn’t work in the Spyder
Fabulous review from an enthusiastic owner - love your Spyder! ❤
Yes, me too. Please share video with friends and family
The concept seems good. However, using the squeegee and directing the liquid into the pillars. Really? So the water soap residue goes into the sides of the pillars facia. No way you clear or dry that up unless you want to dismantle the pillar facia and wipe all the liquid residue. NOT Just use a microfiber cloth, wrap it around your hand and spray a mix of a 60/40 water vinegar blend and wipe with the backside of your hand.
Not directing the soap into the pillars just to the outside edge it the windshield. Most of it flows down due to gravity, the rest it cleaned up with the microfiber towel as directed
@@GaryTheCarNut Hi Gary. Absolutely no disrespect here, since I know your intention was to simply get the inside of the window cleaned properly, but if you look carefully, you will see that you put way too much product on the window, and therefore it flows into the A-pillars and also behind the dash. Try to conceptualize what is happening based on what I am describing: While you are using the squeegee on the passengers side, you will see the soap migrating down behind the dashboard. Your squeegee does not get the liquid that has reached these areas. I do hope this makes sense.
That top though 😅
Labour of love😍
Beautiful- needs chrome wheels ❤
Chrome!? Not silver?
Great video great Porsche! Consumer reports the 718 with an 85/100? wow that’s awesome. I drive both 987 CS 3.4 manual and 718 BGTS 2.5 PDK so it’s good variety yet the Spyder is on my radar thanks for the informative owner review
How do you decide which one to drive when?
@@GaryTheCarNut you know it’s nice having both manual and PDK options as well as convertible and hard top. 718 for the 🏁
4:41 ❤❤❤ …and 9:14 💪
Thanks for watching! Please share video with friends and family
Very nice review. Beautiful color and car!
Thank you! Please share video with friends and family
If you could guess what percentage of tire and brake wear is due to track operation?
Great question. I guess we are looking at about 35 track days total. Likely 60% of the wear would be track days in the instructor (red) run group.
Gary, nice review on your Spyder. Like you I had a few Porsches. Most recently a 2022 992 911 Carrera manual. After two years of ownership, I just could not get used to the size. Did not seem like a true Sportscar. As luck would have it my dealer had a very low mileage 2021 spider so I bought that. It only had 2000 miles on it. Love it so much. My car is GT silver with a red convertible top and a manual. Yes it has the black rims that you don’t like! I like contrast and this is perfect for me. I was never a fan of the black rims, but on the spider you can’t go wrong with either choice. Thanks again for the review and many happy miles.
I agree, as owner of a yellow 718 Spyder I do like the black rims now.
Wheel color is personal and if I had chosen a different color car I might have considered the black wheels. Enjoy your beautiful Spyder because who knows if there will be anything like them in the future.
Yes, I can’t say that I have ever seen a yellow Spyder with silver wheels. Enjoy your beautiful ride.
@@GaryTheCarNut Oh I am, I can’t ever imagine parting with it!
Excellent decision to not go with black wheels! About the blind spots! I too 'kick my mirrors out' so that I'm able to see more into the lane to the Right and or lane to the Left!
I think so too, but almost every Spyder I see has black wheels.
Amazing colour ❤ great video.What a car
Thanks for watching! Please share video with friends and family
The suspension is tuned softer in the Spyder. 103k USD after tax? Are you sure? Your CAD to USD may be off because base price was about 99k. Add tax and you're over 103. My 2023 was relatively well optioned and came to 130k MSRP plus the ADM.
Price is correct and includes tax after converting to USD. They were cheaper in Canada once the currency was converted. My car has very few options just the paint, seats and pdk.
Twistiest and track + nice cool sunny days are awesome living up north. I drove my Spyder manual for 2 years and 10 K miles but couldn’t justify keeping it as it’s a compromise in Florida despite its sunny disposition. And I had black wheels…big mistake. And again I agree with the bright colors. Shame on me for getting the bland chalk. Next Porsche will require a lot more considering lol
Sure, I get it but what do you get after having a 718 Spyder?
@@GaryTheCarNut sigh….watching you enjoy the drive! I’m into raw and unfiltered driving when not commuting. Something that needs to be within legal territory lol. GT3/911 is way too much and I’m not a track guy. Probably the 987/981 boxter + ongoing hardcore modified BRZ. My mother drives the Mx-5 😂
You're getting a steal paying $525/year for insurance.. Is that comprehensive? I thought I was doing fairly well paying roughly $180/month for my GT4 (in the US).
He's probably putting it into storage for 6 months of the year and dropping insurance...
Same here. Paying $170 month for my Spyder. 40 yrs old zero accidents/tickets.
Hi from Uk-agree with nearly all your comments you hit the on the head - I would not swap the manual roof it’s part of the experience for me and gives me a chance to walk round and appreciate the car - in Uk service interval is 2 years minor 20000 miles and every 4 years major with no interim oil change required
Wow 2 years with no oil change? I sure hope there aren’t any track days in those 2 years!
@@GaryTheCarNut that’s UK standard main dealer - even for GT3 and GT2 including RS that get a lot of track time - having said that many including myself do do extra running in and yearly oil changes - but if you ask Porsche UK they say no not necessary 🤷🏻♂
Thanks for the informative and honest owners review. I have the following dilemma ! I have ordered a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 and expect it to arrive spring 2025. I have a 2016 981 Boxster S PDK from new and like you it's a summer car. Problem is I really like the idea of a Spyder. Out there are low miles good spec Spyder's at almost the same price as a new 718 Boxster GTS 4.0. I know I am lucky to have such a problem ! Did you consider a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 ?
Great question! But no, I did not. I really, really, really wanted a GT car for the adjustable and track orientated suspension and the only convertible option was the Spyder. If you are never going to track it, you are 95% there with the 718 BGTS. But really there are no incorrect decisions here.
GTS is better as a daily with its automated roof and comfortable wheelbase. Spyder is a weekend car with the ability for track use. But if so I recommend the buckets for highest sensation 😉 And if you really want to listen to music the Burmester sound system is a great choice. Regarding the headlights I warmly recommend the PDLS Plus.
@@GaryTheCarNut Thanks for reply and your comments are 100 % correct.I do like track days in my 981 BS but not enough to justify a Spyder. We live in Scotland have some of the best roads (NC500) and in any Porsche it is a blast. . Visit to OPC yesterday and order for 718 BGTS 4.0 is still on for spring 2025. Look forward to next video.
@@franzhuber7361 Thanks for reply. We are lucky enough that our 981 BS is not a daily and is in fact off the road as of last month.(Scotland) You are totally correct that the roof is a issue and the ride is too hard. Yes buckets in a BGTS 4.0 now that's an option !
What a great looking car and love the Miami blue color. I myself drive the 981 bgts. Also a great car but the Spyder is the car I once would like to own.
Thanks, your 981 bgts is pretty close, so much better than the 718 B and BS. I sure understand why you love it. Yes, the Spyder is a great next step!
nice and what is the gassing off doing our lungs? just another way we are under assault by our so called good lifestyle!
Yes, makes you wonder doesn’t it?
