What is your secret for keeping the engine so clean
Pretty much my OCD. I keep up with it. I use cheap walmart microfiber towels. Just dampen them and that gets up the dust. I've been using 303 for quite awhile for the 40 uv protection. Not sure how much that actually worked but it can't hurt.
I used to hose down the engine (gently) too and hit everything black with 303 or Zaino's Z6.
It's actually dirty in those photos. Interior is cleaned. LOL

Nice success with the tires. The OEM Michelins that came on my 07 3.0L only made it ~30k, garbage. Hoping the replacement Primacy MXV4 do a bit better.
Vehicle looks well cared for, no surprise.

150000 on the car and exactly 24000 posts on BITOG as of this moment, good job on both counts!
Nice, lots of highway driving is easy on a car.

Another 100k miles shouldn't be a problem. My brother-in-law has a similar vehicle, a 2006 Accord coupe, with the K24 and 5AT. Black interior with dark grey metallic paint. He's at 100k with no problems on it. I've not met anyone who has had major problems with an Accord.
The more experience I have with the K-series engine, the more I like it. Even with the "economy" version of VTEC like we have.
