Remove stains on calipers

[s_wilwerding]

Any ideas on how to remove my caliper stains without ruining the paint? Brake cleaner doesn’t work, nor does wheel cleaner.

That wouldn't bother me but I'm not you....LOL

But IF you are really bugged by it a suggestion:......First order the "Porsche" high heat resistant decals (I found sets on eBay)......then remove the old ones with a solvent or a very light sanding....then re-spray the caliper (mask off everything carefully).......and finally replace the decals.

Do it the right way the first time and they will last for years and years.

(ps. If you ever thought of changing the caliper color NOW would be the perfect time)

The solution I found is Adams hard water spot remover. Long story, but I figured out that hard water remover is similar to wheel brightener, so I figured I’d try. This is the same caliper - not perfect, but a whole lot better.

Sorry, attaching pics from the iPhone is a pita.

I would say that worked really well and make me glad I didn't paint mine yet.

When i saw the first photo I thought "he's probably stuck with those stains"
