    I think that for the most part if a person neglects the interior, then he most likely neglects the engine and other things that make a car run well.

    It has to be psychological. I'm really bad when it comes to taking care of my car's technical stuff.. But after every cleaning, it seems to ride smoother...

    It might also be cuz I don't have junk in the car making phantom noises that make me think the car is about to fall apart.

    I think it does. I feel that cleaning gets rid of bad vibes that can accumulate and that even inanimate objects have a spirit so to speak. So, your car is pleased to be cared for and pampered and will help you, too, in return.

    My opinion is yes, it's psychological. When you clean out the clutter and, even moreso clean off the dirt and shine the interior up, there is less ambient noise from rattling garbage in the interior, and you suddenly notice the angles, shapes, high tech polymers and integrated parts of the interior more. You notice its 'carness', so to speak.

    When your car is clean, you feel better about it and are most likely to focus on the good things about it rather than the bad.
    Yes I would agree it's probably psychological.
