What are you soaking them in? To get the carbon off you will need to soak them in carb cleaner or some sort of industrial degreaser. I had simular questions a few weeks ago. Check out that thread.

I HIGHTLY recommend "Purple Power" I got mine at Advance Auto Parts for around $3.00 a gallon (compared to Castrol Super Clean at $9.00 a gallon). Buy you a big bucket (large enough to put housings in) and soak everytying overnight. Then hit it with a pressure washer and it should look like new.

 

I soaked mine overnite in Cold-Dip Carb Cleaner. Rised off in the parts washer and they are spotless

 

Here is what you are looking for:

 

Is the one gallon can of that ChemDip stuff big enough to dip a rotor in?

How much is the 1 and 5 gallon buckets of it?

I could not find a place locally that sold it when I was looking for it.

 

I gal can is not big enough. I didn't feel like ordering the 5 GL can. I bought 3 - 1GL cans and poured them in a 5 gal bucket.

 

Autozone and Advanced Auto both stock it

 

Well i have had them soaking in carb cleaner for multiple days, i will check them again tomorrow, so the cleaner the better right? but they don't have to be BLINGIN right?

 

'CLP'................the ultimate carbon remover!



Don't know where U would get it, though. That's what we get carbon build-up out of M-16's with.

 

haha well i had them soak for a week and they are free of carbon buildup. but they sure don't bling,,, its all good i'm not a hotboy anyway
