Why it is a pain in the butt to do I still don't mind doing it. I use a California duster on the body and then just some windex on the wheels. At the most you are taking about 10 minutes.
I also use Rejex on the wheels about once a month.

Thanks, I really like the look of the gray wheels with VY, but I'm also tired of having to wipe the dust off the quarter panels after a drive.

I use a california dash duster, removed the handle and replaced with a skinny coat hanger for a handle.
You can get the dust off inside the rims this way really easy on all four rims. Takes 10 minutes.

I have the Z51 package and the stock pads were horrible with brake dust. I changed them out with the Hawk HPS pads and the reduction of dust is 100 times better. Not only is the dust mostly gone but I have better stopping power and no squeal.

I have the Z51 also and I get the dust all around the rear and in the tail light areas. Are the Hawk pads ceramic?

No - They are not ceramic but the brake dust is minimum. The Hawk HPS pads are a street pad with better stopping than ceramic. If you are looking for a low dust pad and great stopping power these are the best I have found.

Thanks......I checked their website and it said PepBoys has them in my area. I called local PepBoys for more info, but they don't have anything listed for a 07' yet.

that's what I do. Never thought about the coat handle hanger thanks. The rear wheels are easy.
