Anyone know what is the best way to clean the brake disc's ? I am cleaning my bike for winter storage and noticed the discs needed cleaning. Was not sure waht to use.
I'll tell you what, I've tried a lot of different thing on the rotors...quick detail, brake cleaner, degreaser, windex, etc. I wash my bike occasionaly, and wax it with Zymol right when I wash it, and maybe once in between washes. I hit it with a micro cloth and Pledge almost every day (I ride every day) and the paint looks great. I don't allow any bug,tar, dirt, or dust to build up on it. So, last night I'm hitting my RG with pledge......I picked it up two weeks ago from the dealer when I traded in my 05 Vivid Black FXD for it. It was a 07 rental that they brought out and put on their sales floor. I don't think they ever ever cleaned the bike......anyway, hitting the bike with Pledge like I always do, and started working on the wheels and rotors when I finished with the finer surfaces. I could not beleive how easy the Pledge worked to clean "everything" off of the rotors (inner area only) and the wheels.
Just one more thing that I will recomend Pledge for.
Yes. I use the can only. I do NOT use the wipes, as I use my own clean micro fiber cloths. I spray the Pledge on the cloth and not on the bike. It is easier to control application.
