Hi some of you might know this tip, i read it on the TT1, F1 website for cleaning gold Brembo calipers. I did the brake mod and bought a set of 2nd hand gold brembo calipers a while ago. they were ingrained with years of brake dust and i tired a huge number of solvents & cleaners and really did not get much improvement. last week i saw some guy used Jif Cream household cleaner and a toothbrush. wow now they look like brand new items and it only took about 10 minutes work with each caliper!! |

Hi Clive, I've heard a lot of tips and tricks, but Jif Cream is new to me. I know the product, but never tried it on motorcycle parts. thanks for shearing. Bertus |

some even use oven cleaner, but don`t do that as it`s aggressive and can do more harm than good. It may clean that good that parts of the anodizing are gone. I don`t know JifCream either. If it is rather mild it`ll be ok to use. G: |

I think Jif also branded as Cif should be widely available in Europe. indeed for use in the kitchen and cleaning ceramics. it contains a like chalk as grinding component. and yes, it's mild. nowadays we use often Dasty, which is a more aggresive cleaner. rinsing with water afterwards is mandatory. but it is effetive and cheap. I don't know where Dasty is availble. Bertus |

In the USA, Jif is short for Jiffy, a peanut butter. Probably a reasonable cleaner with a toothbrush, but much better on a sandwich. Cheers, Phil |

Now that you mention it, toothpaste is a pretty good cleaner with mild abrasive in it. Remember to rinse. |

Dishwasher , just throw in extra powder . An old dishwasher ( the simpler the better ) makes a great parts washer , specially if you can "fiddle " the timer and the thermostat so that it washes for ages at about 85 - 90 degrees cel ( not quite boiling ), and just use dishwasher powder ( wont foam up ..... very important ) ,heaps .... like at least 1/2 a cup and add more in as you go , and give it a good 1/2 hour for metal bits
