Just got a hot smoking deal on a lightly used Brembo BBK . Very low mileage across the board on the set but the owner was not the cleaning type. Somewhat dirty....but that`s just typical of the pad itself.



I have not taken APC to any of my $$$ wheels in the last couple of years. Mainly car wash soap, citrius soap and P21S Gel.



I don`t plan on cleaning all day on these semi-dirty calipers.

Should I go to town on the calipers with APC 1:4 ?

APC 4:1 is where I would start. Best part is that they are not mounted yet, correct? Therefore they should be much easier to clean. :bigups



Congrats too. Sounds like a good score. :)

ha. I`m all about starting from least harsh and escalating it from there these days.

This would be a perfect test to see how well my steamer does without chemicals...

They are powdercoated-correct? I don`t APC will hurt them.

That`s what I was thinking. I`ve got the gold Brembo calipers on my G35 and while I don`t use APC often when I do it isn`t an issue.
