Parted with my 2009 Accord due to the NGT rule: Final thoughts

I have been assiduously following a regimen of car cleaning on my own, which included use of three 3M cloths.

Last Chapter: Final thoughts

Well, it’s been more than five years, and one has driven the car to 58K km and there has not been a single reason ever, when I regretted this purchase. It was a handed down purchase but the single reason it refused to give up ever whether on our relatively open highways, or on the hills, or on the plains, etc was pre-emptive or preventative maintenance! Without which the car would have left us stranded. We never solicited the services of car cleaner who would pick up the keys in the morning and then use his used car cloths to clean our car, the thought of someone applying the same car cloth which he already used on someone else car and then applying the same on our car would give me sleepless nights!

I have been assiduously following a regimen of car cleaning on my own, which included use of three 3M cloths and all one needed was less than ten litres of waters to clean this car inside out. Once a year, the car went to a 3M car care where one asked for the rupees 2000 cleaning which included vacuuming the inside of the car, engine bay cleaning, and applying a single coat of semi-solid polish. That would have been suffice for a few months until one intervened and performed the same job on my own, and yes it took two to three hours of laborious effort, but then again it felt equivalent to a good workout done in the gym! As I type this post, a week prior to it, one did the same job and let me share some pictures, that should do the talking:

I had purchased the 3M car kit which has been of good quality in terms of the results.

I never applied the Dashboard dresser which came along with the kit and yet lets look at some pictures without it:

The chuckable steering wheel and the all too dependent paddle shifters which are indispensible on the hills:

Everything works just the same on the center console, although I never used the CD player.
