Getting rid of muck on suspension and brakes

Recommended Posts

As the title states really, want to give the discs a freshen up and also the suspension is showing signs of surface rust. Have been looking into some rust remover baths, namely under the Bilt Hammer brand. In particular their Deox C Concentrated rust remover but have heard the gel is better, has any one had any experiences with this product or similar they'd like to recommend....

 

In terms of rust prevention they also manufacture a product called Electrox which looks pretty good to.

 

also, any fail safe techniques on how to clean the discs friction area would be much appreciated

I've bought the bilt hammer deox stuff, used the gel and the powder. I found the powder good for soaking stuff in, didn't really get on with the gel, it works, but messy and a bit awkward.

 

Also to note, don't buy it, Its just citric acid and much cheaper on ebay

^^does exactly the same job, i also heard that the deox gel is just that powder mixed with wallpaper paste.

 

I wouldn't bother doing the discs though, i did my wheel hubs, calipers etc and they came up like new.. I took them all off though and soaked in the citric acid
