It became abundantly clear why having your car detailed costs so much. I armor-all&#8217;d every vinyl surface &#038; now I have a reflective glare on the windshield, it&#8217;s so shiny. (I&#8217;ve wiped it down again.)  I vacuumed, put upholstery cleaner on the carpets, vacuumed again, cleaned the windows, took out everything that wasn&#8217;t necessary, cleaned out the trunk and behold! She&#8217;s a new car all over again. I then spent the extra cash on the deluxe car wash for her, because after all, she deserved it. <\/p>\n<p>As we were driving to Thai 2000 this afternoon, JWo praised the clean windshield: &#8220;It&#8217;s HiDef Honda!&#8221;  We stopped at Super Target (it truly is Super. Thanks for asking!) &#038; I bought new car mats, because hard as it was to toss the factory-installed Civic mats, they were grungy. They just represent my negotiation skeelz, because I demanded they throw them in for free (It was an extra $100! For car mats! With embroidered Civic logo! Highway robbery.), but after 4 years, they needed to go.  And, after spending three hours of quality time with our shop vac, there was no way I was going to revive them or bring them back to high-level of cleanliness LaFonda deserves.  If I&#8217;d installed anything new or fancy, we could&#8217;ve called this blog, &#8220;Pimp my LaFonda&#8221;, but that sounds, uh, kinda bad.
