LOL yes the O.F. affliction, lol, that and trying to remember hundreds of names , my bad Eric, got you mixed up with KomikazeiG35 (Al).
Glad you guys are patient.

Glad to hear the '05's are less probelmatic with brake dust.

Wanna trade brakes?

 

Picked up a Michelin Brakedust Repellent kit today. I'm going to check it out myself on the M.
Stay tuned.
Colin.

 

Took left side wheels off today and used the Michelin Brakedust Repellent kit to clean and prepare the tires and wheels.
Application for the 3 step system was easy and cleaned and dried nicely.
We'll see how clean they stay. I wasn't getting much brakedust just a little.

I attached one pic for Wayne who saw my wheels last Monday. They were dusty and nasty looking compared to his, so here Wayne : these I'm proud of.

 

I can't help but wonder how those wheels would look on a G.

 

I think they'd be cool. The wheels I like as much are the '05 18" Coupe wheels that Wayne bought off Chico for his SedanX. They're cool too.

We should do a quick swap at the next meet.

 

Don't mind at all, bro, so long as you don't fall in love too much with them.

ahhhh...Much better Colin, looks great, you even admitted your tires were in dire need of a cleaning and dressing. Much more befitting for your M45 Sport. It wasn't fair for you either as I just detailed the G and her rims prior to you pulling in my driveway .
As Balzz says, the 19" M sport wheels are awesome looking wheels and I also agree they would look great on a G'
When we checked your wheels after your 2 hour drive to my house it appeared as if you have very little brake dusting problems on your rims.

InTgr8r gave me a tip about Zaino tire dressing (Z16) when we were at one of the meets and I picked some up, love it, easy to apply, not too shiny, and doesn't fling off. Prior to that I used Meguiars Endurance tire dressing.
I also must say the Zaino Gloss enhancer (Z6) is awesome ( I know Gsm won't leave home without it ). I use it after a wax and after every few washes, and I even do the outside of the windows with it (almost as good as RainX on the windows).
I believe I an now a total Zaino Convert .

Wayne

 

Oh my....
another waxer

 

I like the Z16 a lot too - but I still need to pick up some of this break dust repellent. I just wiped my rims down last night after a 400km drive and they were in sad shape. Stinking break dust.

 

Lol Ian, only the car body parts.

 

GEE35X I still can't get over how great the G35 18" rims look on your G35X. I need to find a friend like Chico. My guess is that this will be an option on the 06 models, that and Bluetooth support.

Anyways, you had mentioned tire dressings I wanted to share with you a new bulletin I noticed on Infiniti Help that warns about tire dressing and paint damage.

Thanks Eric, I also really like the 18" wheels and tires, it has made a big difference in the handling and appearance from the stock 17" wheels and all season tires .
Thanks for the tip on the tire dressing. The Zaino dressing seems to work well and doesn't appear to fling off like some others.

As I understand the process, you spray it on and it foams up... the first thing I began to wonder was whether this was something you *could* get on your rotors through the rims. But in GSM's posting, you mention that you took them off to work on (which makes sense) but isn't that convenient for those of us who don't have a 2.5 ton jack handy and/or air gun to pry off the lug nuts.

So can you leave your wheels on and just spray it without worrying about getting this on the brake rotors?

Thanks,
Al
