Brake disc cleaning?

G · The Voice of Reason Joined: 02 Feb 2002 Karma :

Seeing as I've got new brake pads to replace the fork oil soaked one's on my NSR I ahould really clean the disc so that they don't get covered in oil as soon as I replace them.

Anyone know if there's anything speficic I should use (ie a specific chemical/product etc) or do I just use paper towel and toothbrush for the holes?

Petrol the bastard!

I imagine its just like dust and dirt on them i supose. so noraml cleaning methods would suffice.

Another useless post by Scotty

I was generally taking the piss about the petrol thing, but it actually works?

Halfords Degreaser and a toothbrush, spray stuff, works very well.

DO NOT USE WD40!!!
my brakes on me ped sounded shite and were squealing louder than the engine. i goes inside while my mate comes up with more ideas about how to combat this minor problem. So when i return what do ya know my half-wit m8 used WD40 'look it's got rid of the squeak' (along with the frikkin brakes) took ages to burn off that oil

use disk brake cleaner cleans most shite off my disks......
