how clean is your NSX?

[hkz286]

hello all

well after moving into my new house recently i had at my disposal the use of a carpet cleaner for a few days

bearing in mind my car is a two owner, low mileage, jdm model, i thought it might be a bit pointless, but like i said it was sat there so thought what the hell.

well all i can say is that im going to do every car i own in the future. What came off was super gross!

started with the ultra cool shag carpet floor mats,

and the result

well i thought, thats probably expected. Thousands of miles of trainers etc resting on them, never been cleaned, long fibres to trap dirt etc, the actual carpet can never be that bad!

becarefull if you do this as all the screws that people have lost over the years will end up going up the hoover if your not carefull! highly annoying as i ordered a load of these as i thought they were lost over the years, not underneath my carpet!

all in all, a few productive days work :)

haha if you saw how clean the underneath is, you would see that’s definitely not the case.

In fact I don’t think the car has ever seen water in its life (completely free castor adjusters anyone? :P)
