where do you get this Berryman's stuff? just a regular auto parts store?

 

Yes. Costs about $20 for the dip bucket, which is large enough to soak an entire carb body, or some rotors.



Rinsing off afterwards is essential. The solvent stinks to high heaven and you do not want it getting on your skin, or you will smell like it until that par of your skin wears away.

 

i used glass beads it does not harm rotors just remove the carbon build up. i used it on my rotors and a couple of people including treceb.

 

Something else to keep in mind when cleaning rotors: There's a coating on the sides of the rotors (Cadmium?) that you don't want to wear away. Also, with all the little oil passages inside the rotors, can you be sure you got all the little bits of abrasive media out?

 

I clean the faces with a soft bristled wire wheel and drill all it does is take the carbon off doesn't scratch the rotor. The rest I clean with a pick and a modified screwdriver to get in the small pockets and crevices. After all the carbon is off I simply wash them with a toothbrush and DAWN dishsoap with hot water and everything comes off. You can even clean the bearings with a soft bristle toothbrush it wont scratch it. Shake as much water off and out the rotor and then blow it off with air compressor let it stand for one day and it will be totally dry. Doesn't hurt the bearings and you can reuse them. Never had problems with GOOD used bearings and yes DAWN cuts grease out of your way just like the commercial says...

 

after i blasted the rotors i used compressed air to get the glass bead out also i heard that black beauty beads work as good.
