Recommended product for brake calipers
To assist in brake dust removal, can anyone recommend a sealer for the calipers?
Also, recommended product for wheel wells? |

Soap and water or get rid of the stock pads and get power stop pads, I pulled off my wheels here a few days ago and my calipers are GTG after ditching the stock Brembo pads, and the wheel wells, I used a stiff bristle brush.

Spray on your favorite grime remover... Joe Sun electric power washer w 25* spray tip to blast it away. Old toothbrush for any other tough spots.. if you are that OCD.

Ceramic coat the calipers and get PowerStop Z26 pads.

I have the stock pads on my SS, if you clean/coat the wheels it is not that hard to keep clean. If you wipe them down at least a few times a week, they are manageable. I for one don't want to give up the great brake setup that the SS has.

I just wasnt sure if anyone was "coating" their calipers with anything to assist. On the wheel wells is most everyone finishing them with 303? |

Best mod: Powerstop Z26 pads.
Next best mod: Hydrophobic coatings. Do both for your wheels and live the happy life. Or don't. |

Apply Ceramic Pro. Your calipers will still get dirty but much easier to clean.
