It would not hurt the car at all...

The other thing that you can do is to lubricate the slides with a light smear of chassis lube (grease) and then wipe them clean. This will treat the steel. If you did this annually as part of your tire rotation schedule that would give you the best brake wear. However - I find that few people will go that extra mile to make sure they get full value and performance from their brakes..
