BMW Wheel Cleaner review (Picture Heavy)

Yeah, that about sums it up. I'll be around until the parts are gone and then I'm gone. Thats the way I always do things when I change cars.
And I'm far from the only one who thinks Audi's customer service sucks. Just this week alone there have been multiple posts about it.

Unless things change, it sure will be. I don't take **** from manufacturers or dealers. They need to fix things that occur because of their engineering failures, the intercooler grille and rear strut mounts come to mind, and drop the TD1 bull****.

At the end of the day however we must all realize that the factory will continue to warranty the car up to a certain point after that goodwill can only extend so much. Landrover, in my opinion, has the worst ability to provide Goodwill or covered warranty services.
I must admit that my local BMW dealership by far has one of the best service facilities that I have been in. When it was time to replace my BMW 750 LI however BMWs brand just did not live up to my expectations anymore. The car should not fall apart at 65,000 miles

It's all perspective. I just traded out of my BMW 750 LI because I thought the company and the car just could not stand up to what it should. When their flagship car with only 65,000 miles has nylon rollers giving out thus causing the windows to fail to role up-and-down or door actuators give out on soft close doors... to me that's just a poorly engineered product. BMW refused to stand behind their product despite the fact that my inability to close a door was a safety hazard.

BMW just feels right to me. After 9 months with the A6, and a few drives of A8s, getting back into a BMW felt like going home; like I belong there. Whereas I was reluctant to really push the Audis and couldn't really get comfortable in them, I can get into any BMW, set the seat and mirrors and beat on it within a matter of seconds. I guess when you find the right cars, you really do gotta stick with them. I hear that from pickup and Camry drivers all the time.

Thats why I decided to get the BMW Platinum extended warranty for 3 more years and upto 100k. I expect stuff like that to fail. I think on cars full of electronics, its inevitable. As long as they'll fix it without drama, I'm okay with it. I'm also expecting the turbos to go before 100k, so I wanted to make sure I was covered for that $7500 job.
ummmm, yea, i can see where it is like going home for you - given the BMW Platinum extended warranty purchase

So let me get this straight, you are upset about Audi apparently not fixing some repairs (repairs which I believe by your comment are not even on your car) - but you like BMW even though you know things will fail and you thus bought an extended warranty since BMW won't cover it???
Anyway, how did a thread about BMW wheel cleaner end up as a thread bashing me and my choices?

BMWs failures are not under the warranty period, hence the extended warranty. Audis failures are under warranty period and they still won't fix them. They just make up some lame excuse.

That said - I do agree this thread should be about cleaning wheels. I find that 20-30 seconds per wheel w/ a dry terry cloth will wipe off brake dust much faster than damp cloth. I've tried Maguire's wheel cleaner and that certainly cleans the wheel but not any better than simply wiping the wheel w/ a dry towel.

This is an Audi forum after all and your posts continuing to complain about the brand, now that you dumped yours and bought a BMW, is akin to passing gas in church.

So enlighten me please - what failures did YOU personally have with your Audi under the warranty period that were not covered / fixed?
