Has anyone used this on car brake calipers? How well does it work?

I did not use it on any brake parts, but it worked well on concrete. You have to do an additional treatment on heavy stains.

I do not know about cars, I use this for polishing brass when reloading. Sorry...

It did for me. I had the compressor to 90 psi and it worked fine. It did not have the power to remove the brake caliper bolts that had been on the vehicle for 110k miles though. Had to use a breaker bar and a hammer to break them free.

Used on Phillips, don't see why wouldn't work on others. Extracted 4 rusted brake rotor screws, worked like champ, highly recommend!

I currently use this on tires and anything else rubber and it works great. If your gaskets are in decent shape, give this a try

Dr. Ann, I think this would work fine on applying and buffing off car polish. I used it to buff off wood floor wax on a butcher block table top. Use one pad to apply and a different one to buff. Thanks,John

I use it on all metal to metal household and sport equipment and autos... never had any problems.

I agree with Jude. I have used it on heat sinks on many different devices including car amps and old radios.

My brake worked for a very short amount of time. I used it for 4 weeks total and by the 3rd week you could set the parking brake but it would still roll around. Didn't find it very handy.

The repair is stronger than the original threads for all non-hardened metals. I used them on brake calipers with a 137ft-lb torque spec so they're definitely strong. The only stronger repair that I know of is to drill out and tap a much larger bolt... so I would say that you would be fine using the Time-Serts on suspension parts, though I don't know your particular setup.Hope that helps.

I use this all the time. It sprays on like paint, and does not come off until a lot of rubbing has occurred. I use it for anything that rubs such as metal-to-metal on my auto brakes and even gun slides and bolts. It is not sticky, so dirt does not build up.

I used brake cleaner and didn't see any adverse affects. Made getting old grease out of small areas much easier.

I have used it in a lot of automotive repairs with great sucsses but it needs to be clean ans holsa up very well, good luck.

I used 3M automotive molding tape on my BMW because I didn't want to drill holes. Worked perfectly which means it can work on ANY car.

I can not address the use on stainless steel. how ever on chrome wheels it works very well.

I occasionally check it against my "glass torque wrench", one that I keep calibrated and only use to test. I found this to be absolutely accurate and consistent. I did what you wrote, bought a 1/2 and use a 3/8 adapter when necessary. Of course use a quality, short adapter to maintain accuracy.

I've used it on chrome with good results. It cleans and polishes glass pretty well too, but on car windows it tends to leave a bit of a film.
