I use Eagle one all wheels cleaner.

Never had that problem.

 

Any one have problems like this before? I like how this was in bold

 

I have never heard of Mazda covering the wheel ...

 

well, i have had this problem when i was a detailer. some wheels are just really sensative to degreaser's. my advice, cut the degreaser with a 1:10, get a plastic bristle brush and if you have one a pressure washer.

 

Man. You can't just jack **** up and then expect the dealer to fix it.

 

just use normal water and soup and u'll be OK

 

soup? what kind? chicken noodle? tomato?

 

 

Water and Soup

 

Wow, that's exactly what's happened to a couple of mine. Guess I won't be complaining about it next time I visit the dealer. Must've happened at the hand car wash (or when the dealer washed the car), as I only use mild stuff when I do it.

This, by the way, is the third problem I've had with my 8. First the squeaky sunroof (when open), then the milky oil dipstick—and now this! Damn Mazda!

 

all you need is Windex to clean your wheels

 

This goes for all wheels on most cars from any manufacturer.

It's only a clear coat over painted wheel.

 

wheel cleaners = lazy ***.

I use the water thats left in my bucket and a SOFT tire cleaning brush... all you need is the left over suds in the bucket... its a wheel so it doesnt have to be super pure water. Wheels Look as good as the dayI bought them

 

why would you not just use soap and water? havent ever had a problem cleaning them like that

 

Also, I had a set of rims on another car that I did this to by accident (bottle had degreaser in it but wasnt a degreaser bottle). I got a powerball thing and some mothers wheel polish and it all came right off.

 

I dont bother washing anything on the car, it just gets dirty again.

 

If you use wheel wax, it makes it easier to clean them. Above all, don't let the brake dust stay on for a long time.

 

agreed on brake dust, would you let a pile of dust sit on the hood of your car, same concept with the wheels

 

just felt like pointing this out: if I remember correctly, TSBs dont all fall under warranty work so they can charge you to perform them. So it's not like people mess up their wheels and get it fixed for free every time.

 

True, but even more so since brake dust is very abrasive.

 

hmmm..... oh no

 

I use that too.. With the tire shine of course. Works fine and leaves no unusual stains..

 

Just use a pre-wax cleaner, it'll take the most stubborn dirt off the wheel except for roadkill carcasses. The five-spoke Mazda rims are the easiest wheel on the planet to clean.

 

I wonder if the dealer will cover curb rash?
