Brought my BREMBOS back to life!!!

I didnt know what section this went under but wanted to share my experience.

Well i was tired of looking at ****ty faded brembos which the Evo's are notorious for as most of you know. Today was my day off so i did some work on the car. So started by wet sanding washing and re-cleared them. Came out really good, what do you think?
Before


after

Do you mask off the logo, or is it a sticker you have to get?

Thanks guys!!

I used 400 grit
I left them on the car and masked off
I just lightly sanded over the brembo symbol as it is painted onto the caliper, then shought with high temp engine clear from my local store(autozone)
