so I got my new discs I a accidentally touched it. I heard somewhere that even touching the disc can led to pad oil contamination screwing up the brakes. They also said rubbing alcohol can be used to clean discs. Is this true?
Thanks, Cavermatthew
You are probably fine with just a light touching, but yes Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) will work for cleaning the rotor. You can also wipe down the pad itself with alcohol. If things are real bad do a light sanding and then wipe the rotor and pads down again with alcohol.
