Dale-Hill Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Go to LBS and buy some disk brake cleaner Or halfords they sell it.Brilliant stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Moss Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 i put some muc-off on mine then give it a quick rub with emry-cloth. That worked and before i had some oil on the disc so that will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoSam Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have always soaked the rotor in white spirit or paint thinners over night. Works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
