I've seen that on other cars and it really looks nice.

Makes the caliper blend into the rotors for an even shiny surface effect.

Jpandes did you put a clearcoat over that? What exactly could you put over a polish to keep them clean?

That looks more chromed than polished, or maybe that wouldn't work with all the heat involved...

Very little to no upkeep. I recently used some metal polish stuff called "never dull" to shine em up.

I sanded them smooth with my trusty Dremel(the Wonder tool) and a drill with a 4" polishing wheel and some metal polish. It only took a couple hours one afternoon. And I didn't clear coat them.

I pollished the mazda emblem on the caliper and the little bolts that hold the pads on. I'll post pics when I get time.
