clk430 coupe black opal
Break Dust

I have 2001 Black Opal CLK-430 Coupe. I currently use Zaino Z-2, Z-5 and Z-6. I have used the Z-6 on my Wheels. Was wondering if anyone uses the Z-2 or Z-5 on Wheels. I'm looking for anything that will cut down on break dust build up on the wheels.

Thanks

the use of Z2 on rims will cut down on brake dust. It also makes them easier to was, you can use plain old car wash soap and you are good to go. I know awiner does this, i use klasse on my rims.

Yup.... I Z-2 my rims.... I notice that it cuts down on a bit of the brake dust. The main point is that the use of Z-2 (or even wax) on the rims makes them much eaiser to wash.

I too have put Z2 on my wheels (stock). I'm not sure if they cut down on the brake dust, but it does make them much easier to clean. The dust just sponges right off with some regular car soap.
