| 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?
