So I took the wheels off to wash and wax them and decided to clean the calipers. I remembered a thing about the paint fading and peeling because of harsh cleaners being used, so I just used a towel and a TAD bit of water. Whatcha think...


The front before:

















The rear after:










Pretty sure harsh cleaners aren't needed...

 

wished my brembos were as red coloured and clean as urs... mine faded after a car wash i went to that had sprayed some chemical lube to remove dirt quick.... sigh....

 

man, that sucks. i've cleaned them with a buncha different stuff before, but its not needed. just hard to get in there and rub each spot without the wheels off. shoulda waxed them too, because now the brake dust on the wheels comes off SO easily. little presoak at the spray and wash, then high pressure rinse and its GONE. wax is great

 

Use a toothbrush and one of those brushes for cleaning dishes. They're not harsh enough to scratch the paint. WOrks wonders on wheels too.

 

yep, i've sacraficed SO many toothbrushes to the gods of wheels and calipers before...
