2008 Honda Interior Plastic is just awful
« on: August 14, 2008, 04:11:23 pm »
HI there

I am driving 2008 Honda and the interior plastic is just awful material. A slight touch put a mark and it is very tough (impossible) to clean it.  Is there any tips that can help to maintain interior.

Thanks

Rent a Chevy and then love your Honda for the rest of its life?  :rofl:

Wear a pair white gloves like those Japanese guys in the Godzilla movies.   :)    The oil from your hands could be reacting with the plastics.

Honestly people we make too much of cheap plastics, where I work we have a big fleet of vehicles of which I drive regularly, they are all scratched in some form or another.  I will also add that famous brands are rattlers and squeakers by the time they reach 40k.  They are not abused either because there will be serious shite to pay if one is caught.

2008 Honda what?

My parents have a 08 Accord...plastics pretty tough so long as you don't seriously jab at it.  Never seen plastic stand up to serious abuse without some sort of scratching.

So far Honda plastic have stood up to my hard ware. :)

I use a car duster and just good old plan water. Looks as good as the day I brought it.  :)
