I intend to clean the calipers by using a brush behind the wheel and scrub scrub scrub. I will also be using Autoglym wheel cleaner. I'm sure the caliperd won't scratch, and I'm not fussed by a few small ones as its only the caliper.

Any thoughts.

My only thoughts on this are get a good brush!!!

zymol wheel brush or boars hair brush are good but make sure handle is not metal or will scratch wheels!!

I had my wheels off yesterday for a full on clean. After cleaning I thought I would try some of my Poorboys wheel wax on the calipers and WOW they came up really well, just like new, cant comment on durability yet though :D

I've got the Zymol brush, Clean and Shiny Wheel brush and the Megiuars Wheel brush. All three work well and haven't marked my wheels. Use each one dependant on how tough the grime is ingrained.

Nice, but you gotta stop showing me things to buy - wifes going mental :lol: :lol: :lol:

Only problem I have is with the AP's can't get down the side of the calipers now, so have to take them off to fully clean :?
