View Full Version : brake disc cleaning
anyone know 100% on how i'd go about cleaning the surface of my front discs? just got myself some 16valve front grooved discs and calipers 2nd hand so i wanna clean them up a little bit and get rid of the dust that's in the grooves and just a general spruce! also anyone know where i can get hold of either dark blue or gold caliper paint?
hammerite or plasticoat paint, should do the trick on the calipers
cheers mate, just the cleaning to worry about now :P

Clean the grooves with a stiff brush , either plastic or wire brush is ok . If you also want to clean the face of the disc , use some fine wet& dry paper . Anything from 320 grit upwards is ok.
cool am i best using it wet or dry?

It'll be easier wet and wont clog so much . If you use a little bit of fairy liquid in the water , it will also de-grease the disc at the same time.
