    shining up calipers and drums???

    Now that I have my new rims, what can I do to clean up the calipers and rear drums so they look nicer? Right now they are all rusty looking and not very attractive. I don't want to paint anything, just want a nice natural look. Can I just simply take a wire brush to them and knock off all the rusty stuff? Does any one have any suggestions or special techniques or products that they have used to shine up the calipers and drums??

    Thanks.
    Peace out..

    what i would have done is use wire brush to remove all the rust.
    and use high temperature or brake paint to paint them like black. unless you want people to see that you have brakes.

    I just cleaned mine , polished, and clearcoated them. They look like if they are brand new and they've looked that way for about 3 years now.
