Any Magic Product to Remove Brake Dust?
Imagine normal suspension and road dirt and grease, perhaps a little brake fluid, and a lot of brake dust being "baked" on red painted C6 ZO6 calipers.
Any one have experience with any product or process for cleaning this mess up without ruining the paint or attacking the aluminum? These are off a ZO6 that only had 3K miles. The calipers and paint looks like new where it's not covered by the baked on brake dust. I've tried degreaser, paint thinner, and alcohol. Thanks. |

Water works most of the time.
Sometimes I use Simple Green. |

I use a paint cleaner for stubborn deposits. Usually works. Or a step 1 of a polish system available anywhere. Usually enough abrasives to easily clean a painted/powdercoated surface. Plus leaves a nice shine

One solution I have for very little brake dust is Akabono brake pads,almost zero brake dust if any at all.
