    Cleaning 9 year old brake calipers

    So this truck never had the brake calipers clean! I just used iron-x, soap and a brush here are some pics!

    You should paint them with high temperature paint. It's available in many colors in rattle cans at most car product stores.

    What a great idea, never though of using Iron X on calipers! I'll try the same thing, as I'm going to paint mine shortly.

    thanks!

    Looks good.

    Permanon or Hydro 2. Then hit the wheels & calipers every few months. Works for me. Been doing it a few years now.

    Great job. Coating won't hold up to break temps. High Temp Paint

    Looks like I'll be painting, would you tape off or pull the caliper off?
