Watched office space too many times damn tps reports. No need to get MAD, Here is the TSB I realize we do not have chrome wheels and they are powder coated...... WITH that being said HERE is the reason it is almost impossible to get wheels warrantied out, so acid it up at your own risk..

2004 - 2006 (ZH) Crossfire/Crossfire Convertible/SRT6


Chrome wheels should be cleaned regularly with good quality car wash such as MOPAR Car
Wash Concentrate p/n 04796236AB, and water to maintain their luster and prevent corrosion.
Wash them with the same soap solution as the body of the vehicle.
Care must be taken in the selection of tire and wheel cleaning chemicals and equipment to
prevent damage to wheels. MOPAR Tire and Wheel Cleaner, p/n 05066247AB – 22 oz. or
05066248AB – 5 gal. or MOPAR Wheel Cleaner, p/n 04796239AB, is recommended to
remove normal brake dust, dirt, grease and grime.
NOTE: To clean extremely dirty wheels, MOPAR Chrome Cleaner, p/n 04318013, is
recommended.
Any of the “DO NOT USE” items listed below can damage or stain wheels and wheel trim.
DO NOT USE:
  • Wheel cleaners that contain hydroflouric acid, biflouride compounds, sulfuric acid, or
    phosphoric acid.
  • Any abrasive type cleaner
  • Any abrasive cleaning pad (such as steel wool) or abrasive brush
  • Any oven cleaner.
  • A car wash that has carbide tipped wheel-cleaning brushes.
CAUTION: Many commercial wheel cleaners contain acids that may harm the wheel
surface. Avoid all “wheel acid” type cleaners.
CAUTION: Any facility found using acid based wheel cleaners will void all wheel
warranties, and all damage to customer wheels will be the facility’s
responsibility.
Refer to Global Warranty Bulletin D-01-22 for further information.
