I spoke to my Ford dealership today about my brakes recall then the colour octane.. they said the brake hose recall was real but the octane colour was a load of rubbish.

Dorko I just did a clay, polish and spot polish with my 4 to 7 inch pads by machine on an octane with black stripes super pursuit ute last week. I absolutely love that colour. I sealed the paint and wheels for him and I doubt it would fade after that.That and vixen are my favourite colours. Make sure any octane owner waxes or seals his paint with somethingToughseal pre treatment (step 1) and a coat of fireglaze or glare pro polish over the topwill do it for a year or so.
