Is there any good product to remove baked in brake dust from my front and rear calipers? I tried with simple green, brass brushes and elbow grease but still baked on.

I hate the idea of cheating and just painting over it. The factory silver was quite nice at some point.

I would try super clean, is in a purple bottle with a medium brissel brush. Rinse. Then iron remover and rinse. Watch some youtube videos on iron removers but they can be found at detailing stores or of course the internet.

If anyone stumbles upon this and revives it. Use the brake fluid. And spray off with brake parts cleaner when done. It will have you kicking yourself if you've cleaned any calipers before.

Yes it does but leaves then kinda raw and unprotected. Wiping them down with sharkhyde afterwards helps that and if you're ****. Top that with a ceramic coat.
