Many of today's vehicles feature large diameter wheels with open and airy spoke designs, which expose brake and suspension items to view. It may be necessary to remove the wheels or tire to clean those visible areas. If brake calipers are visible, these may or may not be cleanable. IF the calipers were hi-temp coated at the factory-Porsches, for example, may feature a red hi-temp coating-try cleaning these with a mild solvent first.
If an improper cleaning solution or solvent is misused, you will result in a discoloration of the caliper. You will have no exception but to repaint the calipers to their original condition. For doing this, you must use hi-temp paint. It's those little details that may count in the long run.
