I do the same with mine, have been doing it for years on my Jetta alloy
wheels also, as the wheel can seize to the hub otherwise. I use it on nearly
all fasteners, especially those going into captive nuts on the body, like tranny
nose cose mounts, where you really don't want to strip threads. Also good
on the sliding contact area for the pads on front calipers, where greases will
just burn off.
