thats it guys, I keep about 8 gallons in one parts cleaner use it more like a soaking tank. As long as you ahve a few days to cycle through the parts, it takes all the elbow grease out of the process.

SO with this simple green or purple power, theres no way that you just let it sit in a still tub and it turns out like that, right? I mean I had to scrub and scrub to get my parts ******* clean, it was rediculous, there has to be an easier way to disolve sludge and grease.

get a 5 gallon bucket, pour a gallon of Automotive Simple Green (there are two types -automotive is the choice and is found at almost any parts store) Drop your rotor in for a day or so and it comes out like my picture.

Man , I don't know about powder coating a rotor housing...its alloy....dosen't powder coating do bad things to alloy rims?

I used a brass wire wheel on my rotor....worked great.

Dude, that one rotor is amazing...i think it is a new one
