Has anyone used this on car brake rotors and/or calipers?

Whoa, Justin. You never EVER want to apply any substance to brake rotors where they contact the break pads. They have to be pure metal to work. This is a safety issue; don't kill yourself. Now if you want to apply it to just the outside edges of rotors, I don't see why not. Rotors take a beating and I doubt that any coating would hold up over time though. As to the exterior of the calipers, if ALL oil, dirt, etc. is removed first, I don't see why not.

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 used it with SEM metal etching primer and on parts without primer. Depends on where the part is for. For a car suspension lower control arms, spraye primer first.

I use it for polishing off wax (Chemical Guys) and works well (tear off the tag b4 use). For windows, I spray distilled water (no streaks) or Luber and use the cloth to wipe off the wet (absorbs well). Dries off rims just fine. After washing the car, i use a big raffle Micro Fiber (Viking) as these are too small. They are inexpensive and plentiful so I use it like paper towels but wash them later. I use it for our shower doors, countertops, mirrors, TV screen, etc with distilled water spray bottle.

Folks please be careful using this anti-seize lubricant. Many brake caliper parts including the caliper mounts, require a thread lock compound such as Loctite. This anti-seize "lubricant" is not a substitute. Please use extreme caution!!

Sorry, all I have ever used it on are my car and lawnmower. I have been very impressed with it though.

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

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

you could use it on a rotor but i don't know what good it would do.rust on a brake rotor won't hurt any thing. as soon as you use your brakes the surface rust will be gone on the rotor as for the rust elsewhere it will work fine

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 didn't mess with the calipers besides taking them off just like in a normal brake pad replacement. for the brake system I didn't disconnect or remove anything you wouldn't do normally when replacing pads. Total time for each side was 30 minutes, was extremely easy. I would recommend having spare cotter pins, I tried to reuse mine and one broke.

I purchased the tekton to get spring loaded screws off of rotors with no problems. I looked at the $30 set and glad I bought the Tekron. I used it on two cars soo far with no problems. quality made.

I have used it on gun parts, car transmissions, carburetors, alternators, and my hands. Works great. I cannot imagine needing to nor have I used it in an ultrasonic. Since it is flammable, I would not think it a good idea.

No, it is for grease, dirt and dust cleaning. Rust can be easily removed with fine sandpaper by removing the wheel and turning the rotor while applying the sandpaper. Do not sand back and forth as with wood! It is all kind of useless though, as the rust will return soon unless you sand the rotors regularly. Good luck sanding.

I've only used it to seal cracks on my car windshield. I've not yet attempted to get rid of the excess, though I believe that vinegar will work. Sorry.

I think so......not an expert though. I only use it to clean RC Drag Racing tires.

I coat the backside if the pads (the non contact side), let the CRC dry for about 10 mins so it's tacky then slide the pads into the caliper and springs into the piston (careful not to splatter it everywhere) remember you ONLY want this on the back of the pads like a shim. Do not greases the pad ears with this. Use a high temp brake grease for guide pins and pad ears. If you have rubber booted sleeves on the guide pins don't use anything on them. I have done BMW brakes for 10 years and when done properly (as explained just now) you will have even pad wear and squeak free brakes. Also do not "bed" your pads as some forums will tell you is necessary. This procedure is for racing brakes.
