Hi
Look at this:

I've cleaned everything with brake cleaner, and scrubbed the seal grooves with autosol but can't shift the rest of the white stuff out.
Any tips?

Is that in the seal groove?
If it is get a dremmel and a brass brush attachment and slowly go round the groove. They'll come up a treat

Yeah, dust seal groove.
I have a silverline tool like a dremel and I think there's a brass brush attachment, I assume it won't damage the caliper metal?

Nope if you do it at low RPM

And I guess use Autosol at the same time?

Nope I used nothing, just washed them with Gunk (or Jizer) to get rid of all the crap thrown off
