How to clean brake calipers

(1/3) > >>

homesqueeze:
I'm going to have my wheels off soon to clean and paint the rusty hubs. I thought I would take the chance to clean off the brake calipers aswell and make them look bit nicer. Does anyone have tips for some way that is quite quick and easy for getting the brake dust and dirt of them. Any advice would be much appreciated!

You'll get good results with Auto Glym Super Resin Polish...

Meg's Hot Wheels works a treat - obviously when i'm cleaning my wheels some ends up on the caliper and a scrub with a long brush and rinse brings mine up a treat

Megs Hot Wheels is brilliant. But I allways water it down slightly  :happy2:

Is this what your after http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,30806.msg454409.html#msg454409. (Bottom of the page)

I cleaned the wheels well & brake calipers with very cherry wheel cleaner, removed the wheels and cleaned and sealed calipers with Werkstat prime strong then polished with FinishKare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant.

They came up a treat and still come up clean without too much effort 8 months on
