Brake clean on Brembo paint
Can spraying brake clean directly on the Brembos harm or fade the caliper paint in any way?

Ive done it numerous times while I'm in there just to get all that crap off of there and mine still look new, but thats just my experience with it.

My rear calipers are very white-ish from being hosed down with brake clean multiple times. I also have no clearcoat left on them either, I'm sure that played a huge roll in the color change.

Mine are almost pink! I was guessing the previous owner hosed on brake kleen or maybe wheel acid.

I sprayed a little bit of clear spray on one of my caliper and wow, all they need is to be re-cleared. F taking everything apart and painting them.
