aalvarez2929....Hey! Thanks for the compliment but trust me, it is not something to be proud of. Having the undercarriage so clean is the result of not driving my RDX/TL in the rain or snow and frequently sliding under the vehicle with a bucket and rags and cleaing the components to give that new and clean look

I've already be labelled anal and crazy for the way I treat my vehicles, I'd be labelled worse if I started doing that for other people *lol* So thanks for the compliments but I'll pass on cleaning your undercarriage

You are actually serious about doing this too?! WOW, I am impressed Actually, I use warm water with some car wash soap in the water but rather than using a wash mitt, I use a rag (large face cloth type) and slide underneath the vehicle and will rub/wipe all plastic/metal pieces that I can scrub. I will occasionally use the pressure washer for washing the portion of the under body that can't be scrubbed manually. I never use the pressure washer anywhere else....everything else is just pure cleaning. Its not the most enjoyable thing to do but it sure is rewarding when its done

Yes weather I'm actually similar to you. I got my car two weeks ago and as I went through it I was not too happy with the front undercarriage by the engine and transmission area it had nothing more than light dust I quess from the process of the port to the dealer or the driving of the car from one dealer to the other before I bought it, as it was a dealer trade in w/ 90miles. I actually lifted the car on ramps and cleaned the bottom of engine and transmission with a bucket of water and rags. It was weird because the complete undercarriage was clean, you know if it went through water puddles or mud you will see the splash from the bottom but no it was all clean. Some people don't care much but the external car appearance but I like the whole car clean.. Mines is black pearl w/ parch

Well...it looks like I have met my long lost brother *lol*

Good color combo...not easy to keep clean but being as anal as me, it should be doable without too much effort

Im shopping around for some accessories like running boards, splash guards and roof rails. Thinking of the wood trims for the interior but not sure.
