Cleaning brake calipers

[crutts]

Hi guys,

Whats the best way to clean a brake caliper up that is rusty/dirty?

Currently got them soaking in vinegar, but is it worth the money to get them shot blasted?

Or has anyone tried the hammerite rust remover?

Cheers

Joe

One of the FRP threads iirc has someone soaking rusty discs in water with some rust remover, I cant remember which product though. It seems odd to be soaking in water to de rust but it seemed to do a good job

Nothing beats a proper cleaning with steel wool brushes :wink:
