Got around to putting in a new window regulator. So now the window has smooth action. In the process I snapped one of the bolts that fastens the regulator to the motor and cross threaded hole in the side airbag assembly. So now I have the next project. Luckily I already found the bolt in the diagrams and I should be able to re-tap the hole. Fun times!
I don't envy you on the snapped bolt issue. Getting an education on getting them out!
I use Renapur, it’s incredible, also Chemical Guys Silk Shine works great.
Speaking of Chemical Guys, I really like their streakless window cleaner. Always had streaks and off gassing film on my windshield and tried so many expensive products. Also bought 2 waffle cloths they recommend to apply and clean and it seems to have done the trick.

Ive found their products to be good and use them almost exclusively on my car with the exception of the ceramic coating, I use 3M for that but would have no problem going back to CG if I couldn't find the 3M product. I detailed the paint correcting in my build thread if you're interested in their polishes.
Wow, that is truly good luck and the sign of a car that hasn't lived up here in the NorthEast! My California 996 didn't have header bolt issues either, thankfully. Thanks for choosing SOUL.

I'm impressed with the Soul headers.
I already had the Soul Sport Cats, so when a lightly used(2500 mile) set of Soul headers came up I was quick to trade the unused Agency Power headers and some cash for the Soul headers.
I know they're low mileage because Luis hasn't had them but a few months.
I'm very happy with the quality of Soul products. (Sport Cats and headers)
I took my 996.2 on a lunchtime test drive.
The Soul headers really impressed my butt dyno.
The additional power feels good throughout the RPM range.
MUCH better than factory headers.
If they feel THAT good on the stock 3.6, they're definitely going to help with the 4.0L build coming up.
The slightly louder sound was nice too.
I have hearing loss, so I need it a bit louder in order to just hear it inside.
So when are y'all going to come out with some mufflers.(I currently have Fabspeed Maxflows, but could be convinced to replace them if you come out with some mufflers)
Had the opportunity to help my buddy out on his BMW using Adam's products, his fiancé bought him a cleaning kit and I was very impressed with their stuff and more of the their detailing tools which are legit pro stuff. You car came out fantastic! Seeing owners still putting in time doing paint correction makes me happy.
Thank you at @TheChunkNorris Another local Porsche guy made me aware of their product, after he did a nice paint correction on his guards red car. I’ll continue to stick with the brand!
Treated my car to a full detail. Used a polishing compound, then used Adams Graphene ceramic coating. The paint is looking pretty amazing for a black car with 20+ years of age.

I have some Chemical Guys products but I've never heard of Adam's. I'm not married to any one brand so maybe I'll give them a try sometime.

so Tex and I drove to our mechanic and friend. He installed my Ipd plenum, swapped my soul headers with Tex squirrel agency power and he also checked my ac. The ac is as charged as possible, only way it will cool better a new ac compressor. It was blowing 59 and I’m good with that. I love driving with the window down ac off. Getting the plenum to adjust I went supersonic and passed by a police officer, he stopped me but I was lucky he only gave me a warning no ticket. I tell you if you have a Usaa membership put that sticker in your rear window it helps. I also had the chance to cook sausage, bacon wrap pork tenderloins and Nolan Ryan prime 34 steaks for us three, so we had lunch together, another awesome day at our friend and mechanic. One interesting thing that we found out the soul headers weight 8.6 lbs per side the agency power are 6.5. Now I’ll take my rear seats off and the 99 is going to be as fast as possible. Doing ribs and sausage today with potato salad and ranch style beans. I should stop eating all this food and stop drinking IPAs then the car will be faster when I loose some weight, hell no, I put a bigger engine instead. This is why I’ll never have any groceries deliver to me. I like to pick my own meat. Gorgeous rack, as of lately you see some that are mostly fat. Ipd plenum. Some of the extra lunch meats. Those agency headers are light and shinny The soul headers with less than 2500 miles.

I have some Chemical Guys products but I've never heard of Adam's. I'm not married to any one brand so maybe I'll give them a try sometime.
What I use to take care of my cars.
What I use to take care of myself.
Bro I saw that you use P21S. I had a customer back in the day that had a 1975 Jaguar E-Type in British Racing Green on cashmere, he would provide the products and it was the pretty much the entire P21S catalogue in 1998. Looking back, the guy would pay me 300.00 a quarter to do the car and I didn't use any of my own equipment... easily had 6k in product and he'd let me drive it around the block. That dude was wild and his daughter drove a new Vette every other year, he didn't care what I used on those.
I'm kidding of course -- I think I've used everything on that table at one time or another, but an Opti-Wax top-off adds a carnuba look and (importantly) UV protection.
Do you mean 'Opti-Seal'? If so it's on the left-hand side of the table in my pic.
Nope. I saw the Opti-Seal (which I love), which is part of the reason I mentioned Optimum Spray Wax. The Opti-Seal only provides a bit of UV protection -- the Optimum Spray Wax provides much better UV protection and gives it a "Carnuba" look versus the pure "clear coat" look of Opt-Seal. Opti-Wax also lasts a long time even though you just spray it on and wipe it off. I use both Opti-Seal and Wax together.
I took mine for a long drive today.
The new sound from the Soul headers and sport cats combined with the Fabspeed mufflers is glorious!
The performance from my 3.6 is great.
I’m going to miss driving my 996 while it’s at Flat6Innovations being turned into a Track Performer Stage 2 4.0L.
I hope to put as many miles as possible on it before it leaves later this month.
