VHT has quite a few products that really work. I think a lot has to do with prep work as I've seen brakes and engine blocks that look great even thousands of miles later, but then I've also seen nasty flakey messes.

yes. All of the fading and or peeling that is attributed with the brembos is just the clearcoat.

I just want to thank the OP. I'm in the middle of reapplying the clear coat now. I'm not even done yet and it looks 10 X better already. I never went ahead with it because I thought i had to strip the paint off and redo everything but this is so easy. The one thing I did notice is that the satin finish doesn't look exactly like stock. i think stock was a bit shinier but honestly it doesn't take away from it, they still look brand new. THANK YOU!!
