Disc Brake Calipers: Cleaning
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Clean the caliper components with clean brake fluid or brake clean only. Wipe the caliper and piston dry with lint free towels or use low pressure compressed air.
CAUTION:
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, thinner, or similar solvents. These products may leave a residue that could damage the piston and seal.
