You can clean the braking surface with Scotchbite. Use the White colored one for the least scratching of your surfaces. Also check your wheel for planarity and make sure that you don't have any dings or flat spots along those surfaces. remove the brake pads and clean them if they have dirt or gravel embedded. Make sure that when you lube the chain you don't over spray parts of the wheel.
