I have a 2011 Edge sport and I need winter wheels and tires so my 22's don't get ruined, please let me know if you are selling any in the Michigan area I will pick up. Thank you!

I just bought a 2011 Edge Sport last month and I love it, but I live in Michigan and there is a lot of salt on the roads during the winter months. I would like to know if anyone has ever heard of some sort of rim protection that is almost like a 3M film that can be applied to the 22' sport rims to protect them from the elements. I don't want to have to buy another set of rims and tires for the winter, so if I could get this film applied in the winter and then peel it off during the summer months without damaging anything that would be great. Also if no one has heard of anything available like this what would you suggest I do to try to protect the rims during the winter months? Any feedback would be appreciated!

I'm having the same problem with my 2011 edge sport but when I told the dealer about it they looked at me like I was crazy and that was as far as it went. Have you heard anything back form Ford or your dealer about this concern? If so I would be interested to know what they said.

My 2011 Edge SEL has Synch and My Touch. The Climate control includes an "Auto" function which should maintain the temperature of the cabin automatically. When my climate control is set to "Auto" the A/C never comes on even when the cabin get warmer than the set temperature. THe user's manual says the A/C should be turned on and off automatically when using the "Auto" mode. The dealer seems to be unable to explain why the "Auto" mode is not working as I expect. The dealer checked a 2012 Edge and the Auto mode seems to work as I expect and turns the A/C on and off as needed to maintain the cabine temperature. The dealer is talking with Ford to determine what to do next. Anyone having this probelm?

Thank you, and I will definitely check out Autogeek. :D

Hey, since you're not telling your gender, we're not answering your question.....hahaha...just kidding. I use Zep Citrus cut with 4 parts of water; 1 part of ZC in a spray bottle for the wheels. It is strong enough to cut brake dust. Go to Home Depot and you can get it by the gallon. You can use it on the tires too although I prefer Zep Purple degreaser (same ratio) for that job. (I do professional detailing on the side). I would then advise to go to Carquest and pick up some Duragloss 105 sealant. Seal your wheels with that after cleaning them. As far as tire shine goes, Meguiars Endurance is not bad for OTC. BTW, you need to check out Autogeek.net for detailing supplies. Their site will blow your mind with the selection. You should join a detailing forum too, there's a ton of great info on them (almost too much sometimes). Autogeek has one and I help run one called Live2Detail.com. Hope to see you there.

I have a 2011 Edge Sport, what products should I use to keep my rims and tires clean and shiny?

I just bought a 2011 Edge Sport and I was wondering what products I can use to keep my rims clean and shiny that doesn't damage them in the process. Also I was wondering what kind of tire shine would work the best with my tires. Thank you in advance! :D
