Re: [ST] Caliper piston cleaning



Much like that S100 cleaner, eh?  Looks like the original owner of my
Hawk used it before trading it in and left it on long enough it clouded
the clearcoat on the frame in drippy streaks.

Be careful with Simple Green.  Un-diluted it will dull the paint finish
(it's strong stuff) on engine cases for example as a member of our local
group found out on his S3.  I dilute it to at least 50% and normally
even
more.

Nobody mentioned Simple Green yet - it works great for me and is
biodegradable!
