If you are not mechanically inclined just get the brush kit, put the car on up on jack stands, pull the wheel off, clean the calipers, brush them, put wheel back on, lower, wait for 24 hours to let them cure.

Make sure to do 2 coats because I only did one and this spring they look nasty, I have to do them again.

sorry monkey, lfmaod a bit. i do advise you guys TORQUE your damn wheels tho. i made the mistake of not torquing wheels and my left front rotors is warped like a taco bell burrito. ok, bad comparison.
