How **** are you when it comes to dirty wheels?

I know for me is that I wipe my wheels at least every two days, if not one day. My wife would just walk by me and shakes her head. (probably jealous that I don't rub her down as much as the G37 ) So now I do it at work when I get in early.

I havent had any major issues with brake dust on my G. Seems pretty light, even after a week or two of driving around.

Plenty of time left to rub the ole ball and chain.

Yeah these brakes are much better with the dust compared to my Brembos. Still cleaning my Mayas is a biotch! Next time I will go with a plain 5 or 7 spoke.

I can't stand nasty wheels. If they need cleaning, I'll just wash the hole car. Unless at a show. But now that I have a black car, I might need to avoid to may washes if I can.

I'm very hestitant to use any sort of wheel cleaner product. I have a set of 20" chrome wheels on my Tundra and was trying to get some stubborn water spots off with chrome polish. All that did was rubbed off the shiny chrome finish and left fine scratches on it.

So now the only time I use any wheel product is that if the wheel is already messed up, fine it can only get better.
