Default Can you clay the rims?

Everyone keeps saying how dangerous brake dust is, so I was wondering if I should clay the rims before I Zaino them? I wouldn't want any dust to get embedded into the zaino and stuck on the wheels. What are everyone's thoughts on this? My rims aren't chrome. I have a G35c with the 18" wheels.

I guess you could as long as they are painted.

But the stock rims on my Z seem to clean up really easily. Almost doesn't look like a paint. Looks like some sort of an enamel or something.

On a side note. I clayed my car when I first got it now after 5 months I noticed how rough the paint felt, so I have begun claying sections at a time and the difference in smoothness is amazing. We must have a lot of contaminants in the air here in Louisiana.

You should clay your car twice a year. There will always be contaminants floating around in the air that stick to your car, even if you have 12 coats of Zaino.
