Using Clean Streak for rotors is actually a secondary use. It's primarily designed to clean bicycle drivetrains and greasy fasteners. This is a task it also performs very well. Try pouring your precious denizzied alcohol over your cassette and chain and let me know how that works out for you.
Enjoy your fondue.

Has anyone tried Oxy Clean? I'm thinking that it would work great.

Once again another attempt to put someone else down(Yawn). "Living it" means I work on automotive brakes every day, so I get to see the what brakes can withstand and what they cannot (Duh), mr fagerlin, mr danneskold, mr john, mr Hitler or what ever new alias you are these days.....

Gasto's bong comment is what gave me the thought.But honestly, someone needs to try out my oxy clean method...it seems pretty solid.

You're supposedly "living it" yet you've only gotten your brakes to 511 degrees Fahrenheit? What that tells me is that you've never pushed the car hard enough to understand what is hype and what is reality, despite your protestations to the contrary.
p.s. It's a bit early to be throwing in the towel with Godwin's Law, isn't it Mr. Tupperware pilot?

I don't disagree with you about the advice people give based on little experience or being against hypes. In fact, it is nice to have someone who can call that advice into question. It is just that in most cases the "e tone" which you use makes you come across as a prick. I probably come across as prick too, so I guess I really shouldn't be pointing a finger.

Couldn't tell from your response to Gastro whether you liked the stuff or not. It is the only lube I use anymore. I tried White Lightening, Prolink, and some Pedros stuff but it all seemed to gunk up my chain. Triflow seems legit, but I keep coming back to Boeshield.
