Caliper Cleaning - Please talk slowly...

<< < (4/7) > >>

JPC:
I've used that too and although better than rimwax, it's not as good as they fk. All IMO of course

stealthwolf:
I definitely recommend taking the wheels off - much easier, and allows you to clean each wheel properly.

The right kind of brush - i use a swissvaw style brush - allows you to gt in and clean between the spokes for those times when you don't wanna take the wheels off.

Never bothered protecting them as I find the Bilberry works fine though I use it neat (spray onto brush, then clean caliper cover)

JPC:
Meg's do a 3 way brush that looks like a tooth brush which will be  good for the calipers

veedub18:
You could use Bilberry on your calipers if you have all day to wait and re-apply it when it doesnt get them clean  :laugh:

Or... use Megs Wheel Brightener diluted 10:1 with plain water. I've been using it for years without a single issue. It works really well  :happy2:

Someone's bound to say its too acidic/alkaline and it's make your wheels fall off etc.....

As for protecting the wheels, I've been using Zaino Z2 then Z-CS on top, but will be giving Collinite 476s a go soon as its meant to be the dogs danglies on wheels.

matsu:
great timing- i,ll have my new wheels to put on by wkend- and i wanna clean the calipers and prep the new alloys before they go on!
