I only gave the wheel mounting surface of the rotors a couple quick shots of fluid film and wiped it down just so the surface had a light coating. Definitely don't want any transfer to the brake surface of the rotor.

I have fluid film my wheel hub surface for years with no issue. The trick is to not spray directly on the hub but on a acid brush and apply with the acid brush on the hub surface just a light amount. I have never had any fluid film material make its way on to any brake surface or brake caliper pads using this method.
I prefer the idea of indirect application - not spraying it on but wiping it on - sparingly.
Besides, if the stuff is truly any good "a little dab will do ya".

Yeah, wiping only was my plan...
