Hai, all and thanks again to those who replied with many good answers. Here is another question on the same subject.

I have received my parts for the job yesterday from FCP Groton. I bought ATE rotors and ATE caliper (left). The rotors came covered in very tacky grease-kind of stuff. The question is what is it and how do I best clean it off? I imagine it is there to protect the discs while in storage and shipping. So, would a can of brake cleaner do? Maybe electric cleaner? Gasoline? I am trying to keep my home and garage from smelling badly, so the less of the poroposed solvent the better.

Will probably tackle the job tomorrow if it's not too cold.

Thanks again.
