White Bits

[WILL]

Had & look through the Faults, Servicing & MOT links & could not find one related to this:

I have noticed that on my Civic EP3 (06 reg) the brake calipers have started to turn white in places. It not occur on my last EP3. So I visited my local Honda dealer & I noticed some of the EP3 (03 >) on the forecaourt also had the same problem. I pointed it out and the Honda salesman stated it is mostly the salt that causes the white colouration.

So I carefully cleaned the white muck of the brake calipers on the weekend & it looks like its appeared again?

Any of you owners had this?

Have you got any pics of your calipers??? Perhaps it could better diagnosed then?

I noticed that the calipers wern't great on the CTR's I was looking at buying in 2005.. so when I bought my own, I painted mine in caliper paint (one of the best thing's IMHO I did to my Civic)

Helped protect them and looked really good.

Hopefully this is nothing too serious. I'd be interested to see what others have expereinced.

Sounds like its just salt off the roads to me....

I will post a picture when I get daylight. I have thought about painting the calipers before.
