wheel scrape by ramped

I christened my new 6s today by clipping a curb at my daughter's elementary school. Anyone know of a good way to touch up the wheel? It has a couple of pretty good scrapes near the edge, next to the tire.
 
Usually I at least get to the first payment before I do something stupid. Oh well :^(

Did the same thing to mine on day 2. You have my sympathies. I don't have any suggestions but would appreciate any. I find the low profile tires with these rims have no forgiveness because they sit entirely within the rim. On my other car I can scrape the tire before I get to the rim - you really have to be careful with these ones!

I browsed through a discontinued alloy wheel thread here and came across a recommendation that some of the wheels can be sanded and repainted with aftermarket supplies, while others require a clear coat repair.
 
I'll probably just ignore it. Fortunately, the scrapes aren't real noticeable unless you are looking for them. Just the first of many nicks and scrapes to come, unfortunately.

2005 Models on website by mz6greyghost

Been a little quiet here lately...
 
The 2005 Mazda 6 models are FINALLY on mazdausa.com. Check them out. I just discovered that despite some 2004 options that are now standard for 2005, the sticker price on my particular model with the same options is still $950 more than my 2004 model, not including rebates and incentives.
 
Glad I didn't wait for the '05's! I love my 6!
ZOOM-ZOOM!!

beeping of steering wheel controls by combustible1

I asked this a few weeks back, but no response:
 
Is there a way, either since '04 models or on the new '05's, to silence the beeping of the steering wheel controls, whether it be station switching, volume control, cd skipping, etc.?
 
a little annoyance that I could see growing into a "nails on chalkboard" major annoyance for me.

flush-fitted rear tail light covers? by combustible1

I know other countries have had this since the models inception, instead of the "bulbous" type. Is there now an aftermarket version available for the USA, something that would meet our legal requirements?
 
In other words, where the surrounding plastic for the tail lights would be smooth around the sheet metal, instead of sticking out.
 
thanks.

Problems with air conditioner by jollybeans

I have a 2003 Mazda 6. I remember seeing another Mazda 6 with a similar issue with the A/C, but can't find it anymore. I wonder if other owners have the same problems as me.
 
In the summer when it's hot, my A/C just doesn't cool the car. I can be driving for a long time, but the A/C is just not cold enough.
 
Even worse, now that the weather is cooling down a bit, I turn off the compressor. The two vents on the right and left of the driver seat actually blow out warm air. The other vents would bring in cold air.
 
The Mazda mechanics said that there was no problem with the A/C, but it's really not cold enough...

I too experienced that same problem with my 6. Someone told me to put on the recirculation, and that helped. I don't think Mazda has very cold air conditioners. I came from a very cheap Kia Sephia and the air in that car was very cold!!!!
