Clean calipers

Postby paulb » Fri Mar 15, 2013 7:10 pm

Hi
What is the best way to clean the calipers and brackets. I have tried brake disc cleaner and it didnt do much.
Has anyone tried silver paint on the brackets and gold on the calipers?
I saw stevep's thread but he powder coated his.

I cleaned mine a couple of weeks ago using Wonder Wheels. Amazing stuff!!! Just spray it on and work it with the provided brush. Rinse it with water and bloody magic......they look as new!!! :dance: :dance:
It's about £7-8 per 500ml.

It really does work....Check it out. Just keep it away from steel, it rusts it like you wouldn't believe!

Paint is a lot easier to get the shit off on a regular basis.
Just my opinion.

Oh and don't be scared to strip em right down & give em a good wash in the kitchen sink using Fairy & a good stiff brush.
