I finally have a day off and decided I would rebuild some spare calipers i have laying around. Went down to oreilly's and bought some seals and while broswsing for some carb/brake cleaner i see Chem Dip. I thought to myself it would be alot better(for my hands) to use rather than some spray and a brass brush. I just dipped a caliper and piston into the bucket for about hour and pulled em out looking the same . I thought when i saw the ---- bubbling up that it was strong but i am rather dissapointed. Anyone got some tips better than this crap?

BTW this ---- stinks

you talking about the Berryman's Chem Dip, one gallon can with 3 quarts of cleaner and a basket inside

Work great on pistons, sucks on paint.

Exact same ----, i was expecting the calipers to shine or at minimum remove the crap out of the caliper bore/piston but that ---- came out exactly the same way it went in. I'm doing the left side and am going to leave that ---- a bit longer.
Man that ---- stinks, i can smell it in my nose 20 minutes after just removing the caliper .

spoon fed

SIMPLE GREEN works the ----

That's the whole reason i bought it i was like "Maybe if i just use this crap i can just wipe the crap off" It's doing a decent job atm with a longer time in the tank and a nice brass brush -_-. I wish i wasnt so lazy to go buy a brass brush for my dremel .

---- simple green, castrol purple cleaner is the best.And these cleaners are only good for cleaning engine bays and intakes : p. Overall ---- the environment i'm going to die eventually anyways ; ).

castrol purple cleaner is the ------- ----. but its loaded with phosphates and is killer on your skin if you mess with it for awhile. i used to detail seadoos with it.

DO NOT leave the container open in the garage overnight.........

BTW it is kinda toxic also......just old school Carb Dip, been using it for 28 years!!!!!!

I used that stuff to clean carbs all the time and it worked for me, now I have my own hot tank
