Had to clean the car up a bit for date night.

All of the dirt is from various fishing trips/outdoors activities.

Also: The dirtiness isn’t slob-dirtiness, it’s I actually use my car for things other than driving to and from work and it gets dirty dirt.

The passenger side was just about as nasty. I also threw the carpeted mats in for the first time since I bought the car.

Kinja'd!!!

I have to admit, it’s pretty sharp looking in here when it’s all tidy and clean.

So what’s wrong with it this week?

Did the dealer not detail it for you? I assume it was there at least this once this past week.

Nothing really. I’ve been in and out of town a fair amount recently so I haven’t really given it the chance to break yet.

all weather mats are a pain in the butt to clean.

Looks nice!

Occasionally they’ll wash it with a mixture of shit water and windshield washer fluid. Then they’ll forget to dry it and it’ll look all water spotty for a while.

But yeah, as I told HondaBro I’ve been out of town a lot recently and haven’t been driving much. So nothing has happened.

Oh, and the nearest dealer that doesn’t suck as much as the others is too far away for me to care enough to bring it in.

You think? I just spray Simple Green on them, hose them down once, spray more Simple green on them and scrub them with a bristle brush and then spray down again, air dry. But I haven’t even cleaned them yet, hah. I just threw them in the trunk because I’m lazy.

Thanks!

Actually, I guess mine wasn’t too dirty, but I just used the residual wheel cleaner on my brush after washing my wheels, hose and agitate the mats. Came out pretty darn clean.

Maybe but I’ll have to try some of that. Usually I just use the soap from the car and a bristle brush...

It works on more or less everything. I just dilute it 10-1 and I use it on literally every interior surface and it does fine. Except glass.....

I think for many people date nights are the only reason they clean their car. My car is really dirty.

I really like the look of that interior, despite how unreliable it’s been

I do too. Always makes people think it’s a much more expensive car than it is. I love the sport pedals, installing those really brightened the car up.

And like the only reliability problems aren’t really drive ability ones, so I guess it could be worse.

Looks good.

I’ve always hated doing car interiors but doing some bad ones. You get the enjoyment of seeing a substantial change and a very happy owner.
