cleaning brake dust
Up to this point I have been cleaning my rims w/ towels (and armor-all), but am getting tired of having to clean brake dust out of my dryer after washing the towels !!
Question : Will it hurt the rims if I clean them w/ paper towels instead of cloth ? Thought I read someone where using paper towels may actually cause very small scratches on the rims.
Thanks.

No, don't use paper towels, they will make small scratches, those rims are painted, am I right? I found out the har way on my first new car, I wiped something off the fender, and I had some tiny scuffed are from the towel, and I also believe, that is what has happened to some of the window tint you see that appears "hazy".

Re: cleaning brake dust
my g is not my daily driver. also, i only take it out when roads are dry. i took delivery mid sept, and now, 3 months later have about 550 miles. i wipe wheels every other time out.
sometimes i feel like an idiot for babying car so much

Re: cleaning brake dust
i have a round trip commute of 110 miles. i won't beat up the g with that, nor do i want to use up premium gas. i have a sentra for that.
i also don't drive it in the rain. so, i use it on weekends and nights. although i might take her to work this week.
