    Thanks for posting. Have you ever tried to extend the pistons and remove the brake dust and grease stuck to the rubber seals? I found CRC Electronic cleaner (safe for rubber), a soft brush and some Q-tips makes then new and supple again. Careful not to tear them and don't use anything that is not safe for rubber that makes them swell. Best.

    Thanks,

    No, never tried that. What I use at the end of the video takes care of everything as far as I can see.

    Sorry, I can't get YouTube videos right now. Would you be able to just write a few sentences about what products you use/recommend and any special techniques required?

    Thank you!

    Never tried Sonax. What I use, Purple stuff and the Napa aluminum brite work perfect for this job without exception.
