I have got the paint looking fine.  And have found that Zaino's Z-8 Grand Finale Spray seal is by far the best spray finish I have found.  It took my car from looking good to looking GREAT with a shine that looks miles deep. :D

Sorry, that is not why I am writing this post.  The wheels grab the brake dust and look sorry after just a day.  I have the satin finish on the wheels and that is part of the problem. Is there some thing that I can put on the wheels that will keep the brake dust from adhearing to them?  As it is, it really takes soap and water to clean them off.  Using a dry towel to just try and wipe them clean only spreads the brake dust into the satin finish and looks worse. 

I can keep the car paint looking great with a spray of Z-8 and towel to a great shine.  But I have yet to find the quick and easy way to keep the wheels looking great with all the brake dust that gathers on the satin finish.  Any ideas?

Thanks for any input.

Hello! You can try those covers that goes inside between the rotor and rim, I think I saw them on e-bay. You can also try ceramic pads which I installed on my sister's Montero

and I haven't spend much time cleaning the rims as I used to after switching to ceramics.

I will install them on my RX when the right time comes. Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback - I obviously don't check this site very often. Mine was bought used - no such manufacturer's warranty. I did purchase some extended warranty through the 'non-lexus' dealership I bought the vehicle from so I think I'll look into that although I have a feeling this will be classified as wear & tear just so they don't cover the costs... Thanks anyway.

Hi! I read about this sensor in another forum(I can't recall which one, that's what google is there for), the owner did a little research and found out that the problem sensor is basically a part of the emission system of some sort, which carries a longer warranty than the basic bumper to bumper. The service manager at the dealership fixed the thing for free. There's no harm in trying...RX in NC is absolutely right!
