So I just got my front and rear GT calipers for my conversion and I wanna clean the hell out of 'em.
Would you all recommend sand blasting them or going to town with a wire brush and brake cleaner? I realize that I'd have to get new seals if I blasted them, but with how nasty they look I'll be doing that anyway for peace-of-mind. I have easy access to a blaster at my work. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09

yesterday I got a durable baggie from the kitchen, placed the screws and small parts in them and sprayed brake cleaner in there and swished it around. I then took it out and wiped it all down with a cloth and used a wire brush. for the actual calipers im going to use the brake cleaner, and some sandpaper. and hand hand sand them. i wish there was an easy way to get pics on here. I can put the pics of what I cleaned yesterday on Facebook 6gc if you want. they were SUPER dirty and came out SUPER clean
