thanks guys !!!
well....
1st - 3m brake clean - spray
2nd - aluminum mag wheel cleaner - spray
3rd - agitene solvent from grainger, like what we use in a parts washer.
soaked, then wire brushed crevices (w-brass brush w-handle). stuffed a shop rag in the cyl. bore to keep from scarring it any.
4th - lps electro contact cleaner - spray
5th - brake clean again, aluminum wheel cleaner again
6th - touched up with a 10" "fine" wire brush wheel set-up on pedestal grinder.
7th - contact cleaner again.
also chased the threads: e-brake hole, bleeder, line.
took a lil while, but came out great to me.
yea, how do I keep em that way?????
thinking I should clear laquer, or satin spray em, but not even sure it would last.
