Default Painting calipers

Hi,

I'm in the middle of re building my brakes. Once I have stripped them they will be covered in grease and fluid no doubt. What is the best thing to use to clean them before I paint them up.

Cheers

Gunk and a stiff brush to get rid of the majority of the crap, and then soapy water to clear that away. Finally either paint thinners or ideally pre-paint wipe before you start painting
