What tools and methods should I use to clean my rotors and pads?

We recommend using dedicated brake cleaner or isopropyl alcohol only. Avoid any cleaning products that are oil-based or highly penetrating, as these substances can seep into the pads and rotor surfaces, breaking down the transfer layer and causing reduced braking performance or noise. Once this type of contamination occurs, it is very difficult to fully restore the pads’ original performance — in most cases, replacement is the only solution. Proper cleaning keeps surfaces oil-free and dust-free, ensuring stable and reliable braking every time.
