Re: Hot or warm wheels?

Cleaner probably shouldn't steam right off,but directions do say "allow wheels to cool before using product". Use the water test. If they just steam it's probably ok, if they sizzle the calipers are probably dragging. Probably a good time to lube the sliders. It seems calipers these days tend to hang up more. I occasionally pull the calipers, spray lubricant at the piston and seal area, clamp them down to retract fully, clean/lube the sliders, and reassemble
