    There is also at least one 'Brakleen' type product that is not CRC brand, 'Autobarn' carries it here in the ACT, cheaper than the CRC at about $8 compared to $15 but it doesn't seem to work as well, but thats a bit speculative, (some brakes are in worse condition than others I spose).

    But if you want the calipers real good, you could call a local brakeshop and ask what they'll charge to sandblast em. It was only 20 bucks for blasting both front calipers on my HX about five years back. (But you have to change the piston seals then, or get the shop to do it, which I did, maybe thats why the blasting was so cheap - however they'll take caliper paint no probs after that!!) Sweet result!
