Everytime I washed the Z....it's pain to wash the brake dust from the front wheels. It seems very sticky.

 

No, Simple Green contains butyls. It will slowly etch into the slear coat of the wheel much like a brid bomb will. Don't beleive what the company will tell you, I have seen this myself. The reason the brake dust is soo sticky is becuause it is so hot went it hits the wheel. Just after washing next time, coat them with a polymer sealant.

 

What's a good sealant to use?

I put wax on my wheels. The brake dust comes off real easy when washing or you can take an old damp rag and they look good as new. I used Zaino on the exterior and Liquid glass on the wheels, door/trunk jams, and engine compartment.

Brad has put together an excellent series on detailing. I was reading it today, and was quite amazed that he appears to have forgotten more about detailing then I ever knew.

 

I read it, and maybe missed it, but nothing mentioned about polymers on the wheels. I wonder if Zaino can be used?

Sorry, I just took it to mean that any of the polymers that were suggested for the car were also valid for the wheels. That may not be the case. Brad, are any of these better than others for the wheels?

"Favorites are: Blackfire, Klasse, Zaino. Klasse and Zaino are the most durable, but Blackfire looks the best IMO."

 

I think whatever sealant you have sould work fine. I have a few lying around and for wheels I love Klasse AIO.

 

Actually, it's not the break dust that's sticky... it's that shiny crap dealers put on your tires to make them look the way they do... over time, it comes off, all over your wheel and the underside of your car... You can use some Dawn to get it all off...
