Hi , 2 questions. Firstly I have a 996 c2 and wondered if there is any noticable difference in performance if I changed the air filter , or does anyone recommend a diff one? Do I have to tell the insurance company, does it invalidate my warranty and will it make any difference to the sound of the car.

Secondly when I picked her up last week she was pristine but I noticed I have white polish residue all over the car. Is there a way to get rid off this and also can anyone recommend a polish that doesn't leave this residue.

cheers all
Jamie

Hi - white residue sounds like Autoglym or similar. Neither Zaino or Rejex leave any residue, even on any black plastic trim.

Zaino costs a lot of money though. I think I would rather stick to autoglym and not polish up to the sides. :-)

changing the air filter on its own will not result in performance gains

1) You don't do capitals, so it don't matter
2) Exclamation point? Are you American or summat

I hope this helps
