you have to take care of it for it to look good,just like everything in life including ourselves
Good point. Another way to look at it is that you are being complimented on your choice of car, in which case a thank-you is certainly warranted. Actually, a thank-you is warranted anytime you are paid a compliment. It seems that manners are all too often going the way of the dodo bird these days.

And on that topic - the proper response to "thank-you" is "you're welcome" - not "uh-huh" or "no problem"(unless they say "gracias" in which case "de nada" is perfectly acceptable, although "mucho gusto" is certainly a more gracious answer.

You're welcome.
