What products did you use to clean then paint up your calipers? I was thinking wire brush and wf40 then with brake cleaner then with a paint. They are rusty unpainted mondeo calipers cheers

Forgot to add they are off the car and I don't want to use something that is going to damage the seals etc cheers

Wire brush on a drill is good ben, Bosh do a cup style stainless one. Would steer clear of Wobbly Dog as you might struggle to get your paint to stick after if you dont get it ll off
