Hey guys went out yesterday and bought the bike bike shampoo and wax as its coming up to summer and theres nothing like a new shiny looking bike.

Bought some metal polish for exhaust and shiny bits.

Just a question though
Is it ok to clean brake discs to remove rust and get them looking new again with this stuff.
Its carplan chrome polish for all kinds of unpainted metals

hi there,
it should be alright on the disk itself as long as you dont leave it two greasy. be sure not too put any on the brake pads though lol last year my bro put wd40 on my brake pads and i couldnt stop for ages!!!

Haha

Brings back the good old days back when my mates brakes were sticking on his bike and i grabbed some baby oil and told him it would do the trick.He set of down the street and i just saw this fire ball as he braked at the junction.There were flames everywhere ROFL

Do not polish the brake disc, otherwise you just aint gona stop the next time you use them.

Also wash your bike with Motorcycle shampoo, not car shampoo as most car shampoos contain wax, not good for discs & pads, also do not use washing up liquid as this contains salt, and we all know what salt does.

I strongly recommend not putting any liquids on the brakes. I suggest that you take the calipres off and then clean the discs ad clean the calipres as well, making sure both are dry!

i cleaned mine befor on my old bike but made sure they were dry before i set off, everything seemed to be ok!

Just after taking the calipres from my bike apart and saw what cleaning did to them, Im rather cautious now

took so much effort to get them cleaned up properly and they look amost new now.

I always use car shampoo on my bike and I?ve never had a problem. I use it on the brakes aswell but just rinse it with clean water after. I would not recommend polishing the disk surface as it could affect performance, if you want REALY clean breaks then get some brake and clutch cleaner (from pretty much any motor parts shop). Just don?t get it on paint or in cuts cos it?s not nice stuff (also VERY flammable, which can be fun for starting bbqs etc).
