Just bought a 2023 A5 cabriolet... any maintenance tips?

Hey guys, I just picked up this beauty, a 2023 A5 cabriolet, about 2 months ago. I’m loving it so far! Just wondering if anyone has any maintenance tips or things I should keep an eye on. Thanks in advance.

Congrats on the new ride! For maintenance, I’d recommend not using the convertible top too much, just to keep it in good shape.

Wait, why shouldn’t you use the top? I thought that’s what it’s for lol.

Just to avoid wear and tear, you know? But it’s totally up to you!

Nice! I just got my first cabriolet too! I’d suggest getting a ceramic coat for the paint and the soft top. It really helps.

Thanks! I’ll definitely look into ceramic coating. I already tinted the windows, but I didn’t think about the coating.

Also, parking it in a garage is a game changer. Keeps it protected from the elements.

Good idea! I have a garage, so that’s easy for me. What about regular checks?

Yeah, check your fluids regularly and keep an eye on tire pressure! Just basic stuff.

Make sure to wash it regularly too. Keeps the finish looking fresh and helps prevent rust.

Got it! I’ll add that to my checklist. Thanks!

Oh, and don’t forget about the interior! A good leather conditioner goes a long way.

I didn’t even think of that! I’ll grab some conditioner next time.
