How to Clean calipers and rotors?

Pr335bob · 12-12-2011, 02:20 PM

Hey,
Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the calipers and rotors clean without having to take out the wheel? Any sprays or wheel cleaners that remove that nasty brake dust accumulating on the calipers and rotors? I want them to look nice and grey like they did when I got the car. Thanks! Always appreciate te help!

Sonax full effect can be used on your wheels and the outside of the caliper.

No need to apply product to your rotors, they will be shiny silver after a drive.

Thanks!
By The rOtors i mean The middle silver part where u put the wheel. Where the wheel and the rotor attach around that it is silver. That you can see the silver part if u got multispoke wheels. I Wanna keep that clean the wheel cleaner would do the trick in that as well?

Yes, those are the rotors you see through the spokes of the wheel, it will always be a shiny silver color while you are driving, when you park and it gets wet it starts to corrode.
