Thanks. I use Lucas. It’s water based (I try not to use silicone based products). Spray on medium coat. Sometimes I smooth wipe it and sometimes not. A little shiny-er if you let it setup without wiping. Just rag the rim to clean up any overspray and roll out.

Sorry to hijack this thread (don't know how to create my own thread literally just made an account lmao) but can i get some help/opinions from some fellow 4G owners. I have a 2015 lexus gs350 F sport AWD which i bought a year ago at 28,000kms and when i hit the brakes it occasionally makes this pop sound and has been doing it at least a few times a day The car has always done it since i bought the car but it never concerned me because it didn't occur as much. The brakess were OEM at the time and used to squeal here and there so I decided to replace them with Akebono's brake pads which solved the squeal but the pop is still there & the rotors were recently replaced at 43,000kms(which is the current kms on my car). I brought it to the dealership about a month ago and kept going back several times asking what this noise is (its sometimes loud sometimes just a minor pop) & they told me it was because in these cars we have spring-loaded brakes and its normal its just the brake pads moving around in the caliper. I have test driven my friends IS350 F sport (yes i know its a different car) but it never does this so I am a bit concerned as to why my car which is more expensive makes a loud pop sometimes & other times its a minor pop. It's somewhat embarrassing in traffic for a car of this price and with very low kms. I had a friend look at my calipers after this and he told me that it looked like maybe a bolt was missing but it may be normal as hes not familiar with Lexus's (he works on bmw's) and told me not to worry to much as aside from that everything seems normal. So my question to you guys is do you have this noise? Because if you don't and we have the same cars then clearly theres an issue and my Dealership may just not want to acknowledge it. I have always been good with this car and after replacing rotors prematurely out of my own pocket/dealing with the squealing pads and having to go aftermarket I am starting to get fed up with this car which I was hoping my Lexus (since it's a lexus would not give me any troubles) (this pop annoys the hell out of me).

Please help me out fellow gs350 owners and let me know what you think and sorry for the long post/hijacking your tread.

You should use the search function or Google with "clublexus" at the end of your search. I don't hear it on mine.

There are actually quite a few posts on this topic here. There was a known issue with the two piece brake rotors that would create popping and clicking sounds from the brakes. New rotors seemed to solve the problem which tells me the rivets between the rotor carrier and rotor itself are susceptible to excess freeplay. Scroll down through the many posts about brake noise to learn more.

Nice car.

I hate parking beside curved curbs. Look at all those tire marks - that's $1000's worth of curb rashed rims.
