For anyone ever selling a car, this small step makes tons of difference in how people think the car was treated.

I don't know why some pictures came out sideways. They were up-and-down when I took them.

Also, I bought a Hyundai.

It's fine now, I'm guessing Kinja doesn't listen to EXIF tags as much?

It's the "behind the ears" of cars.

I always check behind the ears on women too. That's how you get a quality one.

I don't always wash my car, but when I do, I always wash all the jambs. True story.

Do you check their doors as well?

I have a car that only drives off road, and pedal to the floor. the last time I drove it this place was full of dirt/mud, and that dirt as full of ants. The plastic fender liners are long gone.

For sure, and this is also important because it's one of the more annoying parts of the car to clean, since what's there is likely super-stuck-on, and you can't just hit it with a hose like you can the exterior.

I actually don't use hose & water to clean cars much anymore, but I totally get the point your making.

I think it's the easiest way to set yourself apart from everybody else selling on Craigslist: always have the cleanest car.

It's ironic since it's the easiest part of the whole car. Much easier than replacing the motor was.

Missed a spot.

Whenever I go to the self-serve car wash (a few times a year), I always spray in the door jambs. Then again, I used to be a detailer, so I have quite a bit of practice in keeping the water out of the interior.
