Folks as most of us have been doing in these times of little else to do I've been cleaning the car. Now I have the big E Class Coupe to a pretty good level (mostly down to the ceramic coating @big_pete put on it a year ago) however the brake calipers are being stubborn with some 'staining' from what I assume is brake dust as can be seen in the pics below:

I've tried everything I have to remove these marks... Fallout remover, tar/glue remover, APC and good old soapy water but they won't shift. Now I know the Mercedes calipers have a slightly textured coating but they should still clean up.... I hope. Not the end of the world if they don't but would be nice if they did.

Any help appreciated.

They could be just pitted and nothing you can do but have you tried iron x? My Fife’s car is the only one that needs deep cleaning and I find it fantastic tbh!
