Brake Caliper cleaners

alphaSTI · 09-01-2005, 08:33 AM

Anybody have suggestions for a good solvent or cleaner that can
clean the brake calipers without damaging the paint?

Anything like organic work? Simple green?

I need some suggestions.

P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner would be a good alternative and its safe. I have just been cleaning the calipers and wheels with Zymol soap and some elbow grease.

Ya, nothing stronger than wheel cleaner. Given that it is put through the same stuff as the wheels are, a wheel cleaner works best

get yourself some simple green! I use it all the time and it is wonderful and it does not hurt the brakes or rims......

I clean my wheels and calipers at the same time. I use meguiars wheel cleaner and a wet terry towel to clean both and they come out 110%
