Hi Guys
Let me just start by saying that I am as happy as a pig in the mud right now!! :D
Bought my first ever Honda, well, more importantly, Honda Accord Euro (Base model, Auto, Alabaster Silver) two weeks ago and man is that an awesome car or what?!!
I am soo damn happy and excited :) I have a few questions that I thought I'd ask you awesome guys so I can care for my new baby well :D
I bought my car for a really good price (I knew what I wanted, did a bit of research and haggled really hard) and didnt get any paint and interior protection etc from the dealership (as I had heard that they charge ridiculous amount and its worthless getting it from them).. I am no car enthusiast but I like to take good care of my stuff in general :) So here are my questions:
* Is there a decent product that I can use to protect the plastics and the interior (including fabric on the seats, carpet) of my Accord Euro? I personally dont like seat covers. I think they look ugly :D I want protection against scratches, scuff marks on door sill etc etc..
* Where can I get a good quality tint for a cheap price?
* Is paint protection/sealant worth it? If so, what is a good place to get it done and what product should I look at?
* Last and perhaps the most important, which good independent mechanic I can use to get my car serviced (I am from Melbourne. Close to heidelberg/greensborough area to be precise but happy to travel)? I dont want to void my warranty by going to any Tom, Dick and Harry! I remember hearing somewhere that there is one in the Ringwood area that is probably the best in Melbourne.. Could you please shed some light on this?
I am a noob when it comes to cars and this is my first brand new car so I am a bit overly concerned I guess!!
I would really appreciate your suggestions/advice so please dont hesitate!
Thanks
