As the in laws were visiting, I thought I'd get the buckets out and give the Octi a good clean (inside and out).

It was a bit of a mess, brake dust caked alloys (yep - I popped down to halfrauds and picked up a wheel brush), and the front of it looked like a dead bug festival.

So I cracked out the Autoglym, buckets and a hosepipe and got stuck in.

Now I'm no pro and others may think it's a little amatuer, but it looks better than when delivered.

The usual tools were used (2bm, lambswool mitt, MF drying tools, hosepipe), and I had a shed load of Autoglym (shampoo, Polish, wax, glass cleaner and Detailer).

Looks spot on - is that the flat black? I had a black car once! Never again - look good for all of 5 mins!

If you want more detailing stuff and wheel cleaner etc look at the bulk meguiars range.

Thanks for that.. Will certainly try some other stuff..

It's the Black Magic paint, and yeh.. tell me about it.. even if I don't go anywhere it still seems to attrach stuff. Got up this morning to find a raft load of insects chilling on the roof..

Skoda never mentioned that the colour attracted them :no:

must admit i love black cars if you can keep em in top condition all the time

cracking job tho m8

Nice car, nice colour..........
