Deep cleaning

Stuff like brake calipers & discs that are scuzzy, what do the FOAK use?

Nige

 

Rather amazingly, brake cleaner.

 

Scuzzy discs? I thought everyone used SATA these days.

 

I tried it, didnt seem to get 'em really clean.

Fucking stuff evporates in milliseconds too.

Try WD40 & a stiff brush first then (obviously avoiding the seals).

 

Is this your way of announcing you've bought something?

 

No, but it could be relevant

Better get a shift on or i'll be walking round Silverstone

 

You've got almost two months.

 

So i have, for some odd reason i thought the trackday was on the 14th.

Oh well, plenty of time to clean it.

 

parrafin and a small brass wire brush avioding the seals etc

Then copious amounts of brake cleaner

Decent jet wash with degeasing detergent again cover seals and rubber
hoses

 

Or, the easier version.

Parafin & toothbrush.

Then neat washing up liquid (and a different toothbrush)

Then just hose the bike down.

 

or the easiest version: put the bike in the garage and forget about it. It
will only get dirty again.

 

hahah

 

A Dremel equivalent with speed control, and a small rotary brass brush
with some ACF50.

 

<G>

Works for me.

 

On coloured ones?

 

Racist.

 

For a sensible answer, only use it for the bits that you can't see. I
used baby wipes on my scooters 4 pot caliper, that's anodized silver and
it came up pretty good.

 

Yebbut - whaddya do when your thrips go mouldy?
