Default Zaino on wheels? Possible pics

I've heard people use the polish on their wheels. I have the Nismo LMGT4s and the lip seems to be polished while the spokes are not. Just wanted to make sure Zaino is ok to use on them to clean and protect.

Will post pics once I've been assured it's ok and cleaned em up!

Thanks!

You can use Zaino to protect and shine any hard, smooth surface, paint, polished wheels, clear coated wheels, glass, etc. etc. the uses are endless..

Zaino helps cleaning the wheels but the dust still collects. Got the Hawks in yesterday, installing next weekend.

Yeah I am skeptical cause the ones I had for my 03 Z squeaked like crazy at slow stops. I will use the antisqueal and bed them in well.

zandO2max-I've been thinking of installing Hawks, hoping to minimize brake dust on my Enkei RPO3's. Were you not satisfied w/them? Feedback would be appreciated. I don't want to make a $150.00 mistake. Thanks.

I bought the Hawks and now have about 1k miles. Never had any squeals and dust is dramatically less. I did not use the stock shims and I used some anti-squeal grease. I think the pads are great

Thanks, mucky. I'll buy/install soon. I hope I have the same positive result that you did. You did not use the stock shims-what shims did you use? (Maybe a dumb question). Also, what brand/type of anti-squeal grease? THX.

I did not use shims or anti-squeal, maybe thats the trick.

The Hawk pads already come with a shim on them. I'm not sure about the name brand of grease, but I did get it from Murrays and it's specifaclly for brake pads.The package came with two little packets in it. The guy at Murray's said it was better than the stuff that dries into a rubbery form
