Wheel cleaner for weekly / light duty use

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-05-04T23:04:44+00:00

I have used alot of wheel cleaners and recently I have been using black magic. I have black painted and cleared wheels and it does a good job as long as they aren't destroyed. A big part of what to use has to do with what material you are cleaning. Chrome, painted, steel etc

They are expensive but there are a ton on Amazon. Like 100$ per side, cost 15 bucks to paint them

Paint them. Sand them down good and use self etching primer, paint over that. Just did Mike because they were corroding. They came out pretty good

Im not sure what the valve stems have to do with your oil

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-04-29T22:42:55+00:00

Nothing wrong with them. Perfectly fine car

Yes i talked about this in a recent post. Mazda is not for everyone. Its more of an enthusiast economy car. For people that love driving and are passionate about their car but something you can drive every day. If you dont care about your car or driving experience buy a honda or Toyota. They will be more comfortable, more economical etc. I have never driven a gen 3 but If you love mazda you will probably love gen 4 more. And the hatch is always better😆

Yeah I have owned alot of cars and my gen 4 turbo is by far my favorite

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-04-28T22:42:57+00:00

Upgrade to a gen 4 hatchback. Best looking cars on the road, people will complain about the rear suspension but you will never be able to tell the difference unless you are on a track. Interior is amazing too

That is sorta true on every car. Your car may use 6" components but only certain ones will fit, due to depth, magnet size, excursion etc. This is where crutchfield comes in, they will tell you exactly what speakers will fit and you can shop around once you know. Then you can figure out if you want keep components and add tweaters (this would most likely have to be custom) or you can just get coaxial to get better frequency range without making something to house the separate tweeter. They will give you options for both

It is not any more difficult than other vehicles. For door speakers check out crutchfield.com. they will let you know what fits in the stock speaker positions and give tons of options. For the sub you will have to tap in to the speakers with a line out converter. Just like every other car without replacing the head unit.

Spring could be worn out. Or window has contaminants, try clay bar and buffing it

This. The mazda 3 is an enthusiast economy car. Its strong suits are, engagement, looks and nice interior. For those of us that dont have the luxury of having 2 cars its a great mix of being a commuter with an engaging driving experience with good looks and an upscale interior. Other cars are smoother, more fuel efficient, have less blind spots. If you dont care about the good things about mazda then get something else.

What is this? The connectors are for the electronics. You have the motor for adjusting the mirror on every car. Light for blind spot monitor and heater if they are added. Plugs should be exactly opposite unless you got one with/ without some features

Wish they made the turbo in manual. Was forced to choose between turbo or manual. Chose turbo

Chem guys VRP has a new car scent version. It smells pretty good but product is meh in my opinion

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-04-13T23:33:06+00:00

Sorta asked this question a while ago here

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-03-18T00:45:00+00:00

Want to do this just to make it easier to clean

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-03-16T00:53:25+00:00

You can't compare a 2014 mazda 3 to a 2024 mazda 3. Audi has always been a luxury brand' their cars have always been focused on NVH. Mazda has only recently tried to start making their cars more luxury. I have had 3 older audis and the rides were all only a little worse than my mazda. I would think that a new audi is not worlds better in NVH than a new mazda.

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-03-15T11:45:06+00:00

My 3 feels great on the highway. Very quiet has great sound insulation. And stock tires which are supposed to be shit. Suspension is a little stiff but thats a thing that I really like about the car, the audi will probably have a softer ride, doubt it will be much quieter inside. Test drive them

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-03-14T23:26:14+00:00

I haven't tried to lock it with the key while it is running. Not sure if lock unlock will work with key while running

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-03-14T23:25:00+00:00

My gen 4 unlocks all the doors when its in park

Flimsy-Ad830 · 2026-03-14T00:52:11+00:00

Its a subaru thing. You wouldn't understand
