Hi there,
My C4S with 6000 miles has recently started showing some corrosion on the wheel hub ( not the actual disk- which I know is prone to corrosion).
The car is parked outside (sadly) but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this...doesn't seem normal to me on such a new car?!!?
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks
Jon

Jon, have you been using Wonder Wheels or any other acid based wheel wash - they destroy the coating on the wheel nuts and the hub centres. Drive in "hand" car washes use this gunk all the time and it is too strong! Once they start to corrode it can't be stopped. In my case it was new nuts....
