Somewhat of a busy night prepping for Laguna seca next weekend. Got the pads swapped, brake fluid bled and a fresh oil change. Next up (not today) is a bath and bedding in the pads. Also took a stool sample.

what tool do you use to bleed brake fluid?

(I can change rotors and pads but never tried bleeding brake fluid)
I kind of want to do it after 4 track weekends.

I do it the old school way. One person pumping the pedal, one person at the caliper. If you want it to be a one person job, the Motive Power Bleeder is your best option. Both ways are super easy. I bleed after every event just to be safe.

works just like a traditional speedbleeder, and the first pump gets fluid about 1/2 of the way to the checkvalve so no chance of sucking air back in. there is a little drippage from the rubber seal on the inside of the nipple, but not more than a few drops.

You may want to use a powerbleeder anyway, purely so you can fill it and forget about it, rather than checking the reservoir every 10 pumps to make sure you don't get air in the line.

The link is messed up so don't buy from this link because the correct item doesn't exist anymore (I know cause I bought the right one from one of your previous links). It's not linking to the 11mm version anymore. The updated 11mm version though if it comes back available has the check valve at the connection to the bleeder and not in the middle of the hose as well which is nice. Definitely highly recommend this tool. This in addition to the motive bleeder was awesome and I did my first brake fluid flush with ease besides needing to tighten down the bleeder on the caliper a little more than expected after having a little start coming out after a track session.

oh shoot, you're right. and the other 11mm wrenches currently on amazon either don't come with tubes, or require you to buy an entire set

Washed her with Gyeon Wet Coat. Works great...uhhh just make sure you spray it all off and make sure yr towel stays clean, once it becomes too wet, change to new towel. It'll leave streaks otherwise. But afterwards dayum. Will be switching from Chemical Guys Ceramic. The product has gone downhill imo. I'll use the Gyeon, then finish with Chemical Guys Ceramic waterless to get stray spots or streaks. That's my new method. That's the only Chemical Guys, that works in my opinion. All their other formulas went downhill.
