Many car and boat enthusiasts have come across this problem when restoring vehicles and boat trailers with cast iron brake calipers. Apart from looking unsightly, this usually results in reduced braking efficiency or complete seizure of moving parts. Immersing your rusty calipers in Rust Medic Rust remover takes the hard work out of rebuilding rusted calipers that have seized or require servicing. Rust Medic will not harm rubber seals or dust boots and will not damage any moving parts. Once de-rusted apply an appropriate lubricant to the slide pins and your calipers will work like new. As rust is the best etching compound to be found, once de-rusted, your calipers can be easily painted for protection against corrosion and for improved aesthetics. If the calipers are leaking brake fluid prior to de-rusting, replacing the piston seals and dust boots before re-installation is essential.
