Default Octavia II summer spruce up.

Spent last Monday and yesterday giving the Octy a good clean ready for the summer.

I valeted inside with a wet dry vacuum but the majority of time was spent on the paintwork.

It wasn't in bad condition following a full correction last September, so after claying I decided to give Autoglym SRP and EGP a whirl, then finished off with Collinite 915.

Trim dressed with Autoglym trim & rubber dressing then CG's New look trim gel. Autosol on the chrome, Megs nxt glass cleaner on the windows and Megs high gloss tyre gel.

Looks very good mate and good finish on that colour.........

Can I ask if you have used the 915 a lot on your colour as I find the 845 better suited?

I generally use either 915 or Victoria Concours. I haven't tried 845 yet, is it as long lasting?

Not used Victoria Concours but I have used the 915, find the 845 better suited to the colour and it's easy to apply and get off being a slight liquid..............lasts just as long as 915 if not longer..........
