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

Cheers. Looking very nice. I'm going to be painting my wheel hubs in black though. What did you use to get the rust off yours? I've bought some wire wool pads and hoping they will be good enough.
