Helpful Winter Tips
- Keeping your vehicle as clean as possible during the winter will go a long way to cut down the damage done by salt and sand.
- Take your vehicle to the car wash as often as possible. If you can get to your undercarriage as well that would be a plus.
- Make sure to protect your car with your favorite wax or sealant.
Make sure the car is completely dry
- Carefully dry the edges of the doors inside and out, including the undersides of door handles, all hinges, plus the hood and trunk edges. This helps keep them from freezing shut.
- Use a good quality spray protectant on all exterior rubber or vinyl surfaces. It may be best to spray they applicator you are using instead of spraying the product directly onto the surface. This will avoid any overspray onto the paint.

On the Porsche mats for the Cayenne Turbo we used
1Z einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner
Uber Leather and Carpet Brush
Metro Vac
Uber Interior MF Towel
Vac ---> Spritz 1Z einszett on the mats --> use brush to agitate the salt ---> use the microfiber towel to pull the salt off --> vac ---> repeat if necessary
If you have a steamer it will do a great job as well.

Plain old water has about the best affinity for getting rid of salt stains on carpets or mats.
Water is a polar molecule and most salts that would be staining your carpet are either sodium chloride, magnesium chloride or a combo of some sort.
Nothing will dissolve those faster than water. The temp of the water is relatively insignificant too. Hot water will only dissolve a few grams per 100 mL more than cold water.
I use water for the salt, 303 Carpet/Upholstery cleaner for the dirt. Remove with an extractor. I picked up a Bissell Little Green for that and it does a decent enough job.
