That's the truth... I had my wheels off every other night on my Exige; I ended up putting a really thin layer of vaseline on some of the pain-in-the-ass places, like inside the double spokes. It didn't really work very well, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I think I'm gonna be the same way with my 135i, you gotta have a hobby

I have silver and I agree with the above comments - I end up being prompted to wash it due to brake dust buildup more than anything.

Oh, and I just put 6 coats of Zaino on my silver and ... oh my!

Amen.

TiAg. It doesn't show the dirt at all. The only way your can really tell the car is dirty is by looking at the brake dust on the wheels.
