how do you guys take care of your rims, Z seems to leave ALOT of brake dust but there are parts i cannot get to like the width of the rim

 

I have a feather-tip wheel brush I use and Sonus wheel cleaner. But the real trick is Wheel Wax. It took a while to put on, but nothing sticks. Brake dust washes off easily. I don't use the wheel cleaner very often.

 

I use an old rag and regular carwash soap. I would recommend that you clean really well... pull it into the garage and dry 'em off then add a layer of cheap wax... then it's just a wipe job for brake dust.

 

On the 17" rims it is hard to get the inner wheel rims clean. I put an old cotton sock over my hand with car wash/wax, this work pretty well. A good wax job on the wheels helps the outter rims, but you need to wipe them down about every 100 miles.

 

5 coats of Zaino Z2 on each wheeel. Maintain w/ small cali duster.

I 2nd that. W/ the zaino on the wheels, the dust can almost be blown off. Just take a microfiber rag and lightly wipe..or use a little Z6 as lube.
