Best way to detail Calipers and rotors?

Hi guys,



My daily driver generates so much brake dust that my front wheels are fully covered by dust from one single drive on the highway.



My question is: I'm planning on entering detail contests and my rotors and caliper do not look new whatsoever.



What do I need to use and do to get them looking new again? Any special tricks? and what's an excellent and friendly product to use?



Thank in advance,



HGT
 
I would recommend painting your calipers. It would be a very nice touch if you plan on entering shows.



I would highly recommend the G2 Paint Caliper system. Works great and you apply with a brush. Great variety of colors as well.



G2 system



As far as cleaning.....maintenance with something like Eagle One A to Z should work.



Hope it helps..
 
Another vote for painting.

I used Hammerite smmoth on mine and just wash with car soap.
 
speaking of G2, I have it in red but haven't had a chance to paint the calipers yet. I'm sure that'll add a sharp look and will hold up to the dust very well



i'll give eagle one a try or i have a bottle of sonus all-in-one cleaner that i'll try also



Thx

Richpug,





nicely detailed wheel well there! nice calipers also!



what are you using to get the wheel well that nice? and how long does it hold up?



I'm currently using meguiar's #40 and mother's back-to-black
 
Simple green [diluted] works great for me for cleaning, Dupli Color @ Advance Auto parts for painting brake caliper.
 
I`m going to attempt to clean my 9 year old Subaru`s wheel wells to a good standard.

I should imagine they need as much attention as the rest of the car.
