Is anyone's car in pristine condition?

[Bill D]

So how about the interior of everyone's car?

Its gotta be easier to keep pristine than the exterior

Aside from a stubborn stain on my sunvisor, I'd say my interior still looks like how it did when it was new ten years ago. I, after all, am the only one who goes in my car.

Paul,

I appreciate the sentiment and perhaps it's a better way to think about it, but that's just not my nature. If it were my "work truck" I would feel differently - perhaps. But it's my daily driver that I don't drive daily. Again, pings and scratches are inevitable on anything other than a garage queen, so I/we have to accept that. But I certainly don't like it. I would not necessarily be proud of my perfectly coated and maintained car if it were scraped, pinged and bumped.

But guys, what about the interior?

Certainly it can be closer to perfect than the exterior or is that just me?

•According to “The Good Wife”:
It’s getting to that point in my life where
my vehicles’ interiors are starting to be
stricken with “that old man smell”...

To which I vehemently deny having any
symptoms thereof—(all the while remem-
bering to adhere to her latest social
distancing requirements, of course.)

Uh oh! Time for one of those air freshener tree hanger things for the mirror. LOL!

Now that my kids are grown it sure is! Once I no longer hauled around small children, keeping the interior pristine is much easier. I love my children dearly, but kids are just messy even when they try not to be. These days the interior of my 5 year old car looks like it did when it arrived in the showroom at the dealer.

I think it depends on the amount of use the car gets too. My wife's job has her driving all day long and racking up serious miles. The constant use causes some areas like the carpet and the driver's seat to show much more wear than most cars should. Hauling our Great Dane in the back seat has it's challenges too when trying to keep the interior as nice as possible.

A friend of mine has to clean the interior glass of his vehicle daily to rid it of dog slobber. He's now a master at glass. Wish I was.

Being i am the sole driver, the interior stays clean for the most part. This is the part of the vehicle you spend the most time in and see the most. Leather gets BLACKFIRE leather complete. Vinyl/plastics get McKess 37 Interior surface protectant. Floor liners cleaned with McKess 37 Floor liner cleaner& rejuvenator. Carpet gets Stoners carpet cleaner. Glass is a toss up between the ZAP CLOTH and Duragloss glass cleaner with Speedmaster glass towels. IP & NAVI screen gets ULTIMA screen cleaner & protector.

My new Camry that my wife bought me for our 20th anniversary isn't pristine. The driver's side door jambs have permanent scuffs from my work boots. I had another detailer apply PPF to the front and I ceramic coated it. It looks mostly pristine, but I own the car and I'm going to drive it. If it's supposed to be pristine, I should have left it on the dealership lot. LOL.
