Cleaning Calipers
Is there a way to clean your calipers so that they don't look all rusted and salt covered?

I did a search and didn't find something that explained if this is possible. Basically I'm wondering if you can clean them up, then coat them with some rust-proof paint, if that even exists.

go to your local auto parts store and they should have a brake cleaner.

I have one question, when cleaning the calipers, are you supposed to clean in the piston or just around the caliper?
