As thread title really. Looking to treat/paint wheel arches on my 330. They are grey/dirty when I took the wheels off today, planning to give them a good scrub and paint them black but need to know what with really?

Also calipers, I am not looking to take the calipers off as I am nowhere near proficient enough however some sandpaper and small brushes to keep it neat will look miles better than rusty dirty ones I currently have. Again need recommendations please?

Surfex HD is what I would use as a degreaser to clean the inside of the arches, suspension, brakes and calipers. Just apply, leave to dwell for a couple of minutes, and aggitate with various detailing brushes.

Also to re treat the arches and give them that original dark tone, get yourself some chemical guys bare bones, It works very well.

Any decent all purpose cleaner plus a good brush will clean your arches and dress with Bare Bones as suggested above.
