I never bother with the expensive stuff, i used water on a duster on the inside of my tints, and cheap houeshold glass cleaner for the rest inside and out. Does the job

Just nipped out in my break from work with their expensive glass cleaner and some blue roll from the kitchen and its shining beautifully in the sun! Love it!

no no no the best by far is warm water and fairy liquid sprayed on and rubbed off with kitchen roll, trust me works beautifully and costs nothing. dont use rain x, when u go to clan your windos the water just sits there.
abotu the brake callipers, id remove them and sand them first, i just painted mine straight on and you can hardly notice them, to get that proper gleaming finish take them off sand down and spray paint

The window one is a debate which I think will never be finished!
Should I paint the calipers green to match the car or red for ummm... redness?

Andy - Not my palce to say, but any chance of making your sig a bit smaller mate? It makes the page take longer to load and is quite distracting.

Painted them today. 2 coats of Hammerite red after a good sand down!
Decided on red in the end as Green was going to be a bit of a gamble on how it would look and Red is a given!
Really pleased with how they look. Might do a few more coats tomorrow to make them look even better!

i'm tempted but i won't find the right shade of blue, so i think i'll do my drums and calipers black to make it look less 'orange rust'.
