Trick to removing radiator strakes

Has anyone used any of the Ammo products? I assume the products are good, based on the cars that they are used on, and they are not stupid expensive.

Who has changed coolant
Now that our 986s are 20+ years old, who here has changed their "lifetime" coolant? Did mileage matter, or just age?

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