Stock silver caliper cleaning
What would be the best product and way to clean the stock silver calipers without harming the wheel/tire or plastic around.
Would like to have these guys shiny as day one   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would try any wheel cleaner de-greaser and a wire brush. Either that, or the fancier route which is finding someone who does dry-ice cleaning.

Non acid wheel cleaner and a brush.
If the paint is etched you may just want to repaint them. OEM finish doesn't hold up very well. |

I always hit mine with wheel cleaner when I'm washing the car and then use my wheel brush to get around them as much as possible.
Taking the wheel off and going after them with wheel cleaner and a stiff brush is a good thing too on a periodic basis. Not sure I'd use a wire brush because I don't know how durable the paint might be, but a stiffer nylon brush might be pretty safe. I don't have a good feeling about how well that that silver paint will hold up. It wouldn't surprise me if I have to repaint them in a few years. |
