After a bit of research for the outside at least, what we need is a solution/fluid that will react with the iron in the brake dust. Examples I have seen on youtube are for cleaning the brake dust of wheels, but I think it should do the same job on calipers aswell. The idea is you spray it on and leave it to soak for a few minutes, after which time it changes color (usual pink or purple). Then you simply rinse it off with water and for more stubborn instances, agitating with an toothbrush rinse and repeat if as required.
Not sure about shitty bandits but what I find really frustrating is trying to clean the front calipers on my fazer as its a textured mat finish just collects brake dust.
It works but in my experience no better than WW when used correctly.
I think WW would be great when the calipers are still relatively low mileage or have been professional cleaned, but I have personally found it doesn't really remove/dissolve the caked-on black crud/corrosion on calipers that have been around for a while.
Well ordered some of that non-acid WW cleaner that also removes iron deposits when it changes colour and see how I go.
you must have used a lot of cleaner..?
