#4 of 137 Still haven't by mike1770 Jan 08, 2003 (10:07 am)
washed mine yet! (Been washed by the dealer twice.) I'll do it this weekend for sure.   I've been following the "5w-20, good or bad" discussion for awhile. Are you guys planning to use the recommended 5w-20 in your 6's? I'm not sure I trust the lighter weight oil, but I also don't want any warranty disputes, either. I'll probably use the 5w-20 for at least the first couple of changes; after that I'm not sure.
#5 of 137 stupid snow by stretchsje Jan 08, 2003 (3:03 pm)
Mine is very, very dirty. It's no longer redfere metallic- it's more like redfire/salt marble. On the bright side, the '6 does well in snow.

Check out www.toughguard.com. This stuff is guaranteed to last for 3-5 years.

Went from 4" of snow a few days ago to 60+ degree weather today. I gave the car a bath and put Rain-X on the windshield. I recommend the stuff- it's as important to me as wipers.   Thanks for the link on toughguard. I've never used it, so of course I'm skeptical. I'm looking for 3rd party information on it as I write this. It looks like it could be a worthwhile product. Replies to this message: archerbold (Apr 18, 2005 3:17 pm)

I've spoken to the guy that owns Toughguard. They've been in business for over 20 years, so if it doesn't work, this guy is REALLY good at smoke and mirrors.   Take a look at this site for discussions on Toughguard: http://www.goonish.com/atenza/index.php   A couple people including the moderator have used it on their cars and simply love it.
#9 of 137 Leather Care by charlie_cr Jan 15, 2003 (11:49 am)
Hi!   My car is bound to get here any minute, but I'm really worried about the leather care... is there any place online with a manual and recommendations on good products for that?   Best Regards! Carlos Ch.
#10 of 137 Rust Proofing? by bkg0326 Jan 19, 2003 (8:12 am)
Just purchased a Mazda 6 and really enjoy the car. I am looking for a recommendation on rustproofing since I live in a cold climate area where we aren't bashful with the use of street salt. I keep vehicles a long time and think I should take to Ziebart or equivalent. Some manufacturers suggest that you don't rustproof. I called Mazda, they deferred the recommendation to the Dealer. Any commments and recommendations?
