Cleaning alloy

[HK1837]

I'll check it out but is it a polish? I just want something I can spray on and wipe/rub off. Calipers look like they have a coating on them that I assume is brake dust. They are OK to use as is but I just wanted to make them look a bit newer. Will mag wheel cleaner work?

I use a product that's made by Lanotec. Citra Force degreaser. It's citrus based. Does a terrific job of ID plates. Just use one of those small (Tooth brush size) nylon brushes. Do it a couple of times. You might get away with a wire brush on the calipers.

Vinegar is good for cleaning alloy,I use it on inlet manifolds with good results and it's cheap

For non delicate parts like brake calipers I use caustic soda or caustic based oven cleaner. Spray it on after degreasing leave it for a while wash it off and the alloy should come up silver and dull but free of corrosion. then seal with the stuff used to re color carbies
