Brake restoration options?
« on: August 30, 2010, 08:13:03 pm »
Evening guys. I hope you're all having a nice bank holiday.

I'm enquiring about my options with my faded red calipers.

I assume its the laquer that has faded and cant be resored with a good old clean  :sad1:

What are my options?

Nick  :happy2:

A bit of polish and wax will make a world of difference. I have seen the most pinky calipers shine again!  :happy2:

Yep but if you already have some polish and wax in the garage it will be a heck of a lot cheaper!  :wink:
