Coilover Cleaning/Care
Boeshield T9 works well. It does not attract dirt and leaves a waxy film that protects. It was originally developed to protect aircraft magnesium landing gear from de-icing chemicals. It will leave a slightly matte finish and can be cleaned off with WD40 or similar. It's usually available at chandlers and marine suppliers.

Definitely a good investment for your coils.
thanks for that tip! I knew sometimes it was used for cleaning salt from carpets, and also used for cleaning humidifiers, but that is good info. Thanks
Now I know I am completely off topic here however I wanted to share this story because I thought it was sort of relevant. The oven temp is around 250F btw. I know the brakes will get significantly hotter than that however how much of that heat is transferred to the shocks?
I wouldnt be so sure about that. Another hobby of mine other than cars is cooking bbq'n baking etc. Anyway I love making baby back ribs. If you are a rib person, you know that the meat must fall off the bone. A couple years ago I had the opportunity to meet the owner and chef of a local successful restaurant. I was chatting with him for a while and sure enough I asked him some questions on making ribs. He taught me a trick to help the meat fall off the bones of ribs. His secret was to wrap the ribs in saran wrap and then in aluminum foil and bake them on low heat in the over for about 6 hours. The process creates steam and helps to let the meat fall off the bones. I figured the saran wrap would melt from the heat however to my surprise it did not.

BBQ masters program says they should not fall off the bone but be easily pulled from bone
I really would not use saran wrap as the temp ( 250 F) will tend to release bisphenol A and B from the plastic...check it out
Sorry and back on topic :-)
