Keeping it shiny and new by delia_camillia

Hi...I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction on keeping my 06 Accord cloth upholstery clean (it's tan). I've protected the outside with Zaino, but I'm clueless on what's best for the inside...any advice?

Are you asking about protectant or cleaner? Other than Scotch-Guard (do they still make that?), I'm not sure what's out there for cloth protectants. I bought some cleaner recently to try on my older Accord but I haven't used it yet so I'm not much help.

I guess I should have clarified that...I'm looking for a good cleaner, instead of a protectant...after you try the new stuff you bought, would you mind letting me know if it was good?

Sure... I'm going to try it on my old Accord. I'll let you know.

Accord EX V6 6MT in Missouri by greenice

I just leased an Accord EX V6 6MT from Stephen Vincel in West St. Louis (see "Prices paid..." forum for details).
 
I had a 1998 Mazda 626 ES V6 manual before. I really liked the Mazda, and it gave me reliable service and loads of fun over many years. Nonetheless, the new Accord is SO much better in almost every respect. I will be back with a more detailed review once I have put a few miles on the car.
 
I am so glad Honda finally made the manual transmission available in the V6 Sedan. Otherwise, I would not have considered the Accord.

Honda seems to be handling you with kid gloves and has done EVERYTHING to make you happy...if you are still despondent the dealer is correct, he has done evrtthing to make you happy. I guess you are one of those customers that is very hard to satisfy...I hope everything works out for you. I have an I4 and they do NOT pull or bump and service has been very good to you.

"I'm looking for a good cleaner, instead of a protectant...after you try the new stuff you bought, would you mind letting me know if it was good?"
 
There's probably a better place for this but you asked the question here so I'll post my reply here.
 
First of all, I'm not affiliated with Griot's Garage in any way. I read a thread somewhere on Edmunds about leather seat care and that started me looking into other areas of exterior and interior car care. It was actually my secretary, who is a bit of a car nut, who told me about Griot's Garage. I read through their website and ended up ordering several items. A few weeks later I discovered that their headquarters (and a store) are right in my neck of the woods. And I paid for shipping on my first order!! Argh.
 
Anyway, I just tried the Interior Cleaner and had to run in to respond to your original message. This stuff is great! I have the tan cloth interior in my 95 Accord. One of the reasons that I got black on my 06 was because the tan is hard to keep clean.
 
I tried the stuff on the seats, seat backs, console, carpet, plastic rocker panels, emergency brake handle, and doors. I followed the directions and used the brush I got in a kit (they sell an interior cleaning kit with a brush and some towels along with the cleaner... but the cleaner is available separately). Every stain came out. It took some scrubbing on the rocker panels (dark soled shoes scrape across there all the time) but it looks great now.
 
There were some stains on the carpet in the back that the kids added a few years ago. I never thought they would come out. Now there isn't a mark.
 
So I'm impressed. There may be other products that do the trick and I'm sure someone will pass along that info but I'm sold on this stuff. If it is inappropriate to post Griot's website, someone can remove it but here it is if you want to take a look: Griot's Garage
 
Good luck!

Honda Accord Power Accessory Socket by gdgroves
Jul 07, 2006 (2:43 am)

Just bought a 2006 Honda Accord EX-V6 4-door sedan last week. It is a great car so far, but I have a small problem:
 
The power accessory sockets are only live when the ignition is on. I use them to power a Coleman electric cooler while doing shopping and running errands. Anyone know how to change it so it is live all of the time?

I am the proud owner of a "new" 1994 Honda Accord LX coupe. As you can tell by my name, I love my car! I have had it for a little more than a year now, and very few problems, just one so far. I got it last July after my great uncle decided to get a newer vehicle. He hardly drove it, as he bought it brand new in June 94 and it only had 71.5K miles on it! It had regular maintainance done by the dealer faithfully, nothing ever wrong with it. I have only put an additional 5k on it. It is Sage Green, but it really looks light blue. VERY clean, immaculate condition for a 12 yr old, a few scratches on the bumper, nothing major. I have only replaced the thermostat, and that was b/c of something i read on here. Thats my story.

Hi Everyone, I am new to this group and new to Honda as well. I just purchased a 2007 Accord Coupe EXL-V6, Cool Blue Metallic. Coming from a 1999 Toyota Solara SE-V6 so far the Accord is great, it has everything that I want in a car. I am currently having the dealer install fog lights and the wing and am also going to put on vent visors for the windows and a wind deflector for the sunroof. I am interested in getting a bra for it, but am not sure if it would be worth it or what it would look like. Future plans would be to get it tinted due to the black leather.
