Dear Vladimir,

May this find you well. Do not use gasoline as a solvent! Gasoline fumes are heavier than air. Gasoline fumes will fall to ground level. Air currents can carry them along the ground to an ignition source, sometimes many feet from the use point.

Take the rotors in the open air, i.e. outside. Spray them with brake cleaner. If there's hardened, caked-on grease, use a paper towel - or a clean, plastic kitchen scrubber (do not use metal pot scrubbers).

Re-spray with brake cleaner to remove any paper fibers or grease film. That should give you a 100% grease/oil-free surface.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

spook
