Hi,
i will clean those myself next week... mine are very rusty... i already cleaned my rear calipers and i will use the same way to do those: My Dremel 300 with a 538 Abrasive Brush
if you want, i will post here some before/after photos of it, as it will take a bit for me to post everything in my build thread... the brake overall i'm doing is taking a fair ammountof time... 4 weeks now, and counting...
After the cleaning i will paint it Black with some high temperature paint.

PERFECT!!! absolutely what I plan on doing, however, either that color or black. what color is that exactly?
Hi,
if some high temp clear coat existed, i would spray it all over this and my calipers also...
i really love this look of bare metal really clean

Hmm - I may have to do this myself and use the high-temp clear. I have Formula 5 Rojas and my center caps are faded and look like shit. Finding replacements (I tried) for the centercaps don't seem to be an option.
I'd rather replace, if anyone can point me in the right direction for ROJA center caps, that would be GREAT! Otherwise, looks like I'll be rolling up my sleeves.
Have you tried Navel Jelly? I have not use it on my hub, but have used Navel Jelly on many rusted parts in the past. It dissolves the rust particles.
Any hardware store should carry metal polish. Many auto stores carry Turtle Wax Metal Polish or Mother's.and where can i obtain this magical dissolving substance?

I use it to help remove the rust if it's really caked on. But if you buy a cup brush attachment for the drill, it's better to go dry IMO.
Go to Harbor freight, buy a cheap one. Then spend some time with a drill and get it nice and clean. Mask the area off and shoot it with some black brake paint. It will stay cleaned up for years!
