Wow - night and day, geat job.

What did you use - wire brush? media blast?

Question is - how to keep them looking that way?

Looks great! I'm curious to what you used also.

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.

I was thinking clear satin laquer followed by lots of spray on wax (I know the wax it makes a huge difference in keeping my wheels clean)

What are you going to do about the fronts? Upgrade to C5 calipers?
