Brake caliper paint coming off.
I was cleaning wheels and noticed the amg caliper paint seems to be coming off or atleast the clear coat. Could it be brake cleaner too harsh? Any thoughts on remedy?

I would take it to the dealer as a warranty claim.

Won't make a difference ... All about your convenience and what works for your schedule as you car will be with them for a few days, some just got replaced calipers
