Protecting Brake Calipers

Rob GTI:
Got some shiney new brake calipers powder coated red by Dave B and kinda thinking I want to keep them that way rather than see them turn pink like the current ones.

Was thinking of perphaps putting a couple of coats of Jetseal 109 on them before fitting, any other suggestions or would this be good enough?

stealthwolf:
I can't remember how good Jetseal is at higher temperatures but Finish Kare 1000P is a high-temperature sealant that would be best suited IMO.

Tarmac_Terrorist:
I use Autoglym EGP on mine. Two coats 3 times a year. Seems to do the job fine - stay bright red and clean with just regular suds & water

Slickline:
Any ideas on rejuvenating the red calipers on my K1 as they're starting to fade a little. Would T cut or any polish do a reasonable job or is there a more suitable product?

Rob GTI:
Done some research based on replies and the Finsh Kare seems the one to go for. JPC recommended it in another thread for the same application as well as numerous posts on DW.

Only problem is finding some , CYC and Auto perfection are both out of stock  :sad:
