The car does not want the cosmoline removed. If only the car could speak. It was built with it for a reason and is happy with it. Only some owners and all of the dry ice guys want to remove it.

Don’t do it unless keeping the car in a wrapper all its life for a museum piece SMH!

I understand there's a setting that gets all the bad stuff but leaves the cosmoline. Do I have that right ?

My two cents on this.
If you like to work on your car like I do, Cosmoline sucks so I remove it.
New Porsche cars don't come with Cosmoline on them and don't corrode.
I took Euro delivery of a Porsche in 1979 at the factory and it had no Cosmoline on it unlike cars delivered in the USA.
My bet is that after all this time and the dirt attracted to Cosmoline, the source of any leak will be easier to find once Cosmoline is removed.

Cupcar, agreed. The stuff looks nasty imo. Glad I blasted mine.
I would leave it on a car that gets driven through salty winters but doubt many 993's fall into that category any more.
