I had no idea where to put this so Im here. I have the wilwood 4 pot rear bbk on my 04 TL. I put it on last week.

I went to the car wash and I sprayed the wheels with eagle one wheel/tire cleaner before it went in because there was ALOT of brake dust on the wheels after I bedded them. The car wash guy also sprayed something on the wheels also. Ive used this numerous times on my painted wheels with no problems. This is first time Ive sprayed the calipers with and it looks like this cleaner (or the car wash guys bottle) left a film on the caliper but only on one side.

I tried cleaning it by hand with a whole bunch of stuff but it wont come off. Did the clear coat/paint/whatever peel off the caliper? Any ideas?

wondering if the caliper was really hot and the chemical reacted with it? If they are new, contact wilwood

I only drove 1/2 mile to the car wash and the car was off prior to that for 12 hours. I have to call wilwood tomorrow.

I found out the calipers are coated with something that wilwood calls "E Coat"..dont know what that is though

E Coating is not as think as Powder Coating, but a high quality process never-less. It does look like a reaction of some sort and not the calipers peeling. Have you tried Goo Gone or Oops removers to see if it cleans up?

I didnt think about those. I tried regular dish soap, car was soap, brake cleaner. On hold with wilwood right now

Sent pics to wilwood and Im waiting to hear back. The tech had never heard of this.

Goo gone didnt work either
