I use cheap gasoline and a clean rag.

What part of he rotor are you talking about ?

The rotor is rust colored from rust - Just drive the thing and let the pads clean the rotors

my rotors get rust spots every time it rains and she sits for a while. Just drive it and it all comes off like Doug was saying, if you meant to say calipers then I use Eagle one Chrome/Wire wheel cleaner...it has some mild acid in it that eats that brake dust alive... works very well on the insides of the rims...you dont even have to take them off to get them clean
