Never heard of Florida Water... Is this it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Water

And, you're talking about the pads themselves, yes? Will this remove oils and decontaminate the pads, too?

Or 2 squirts of brake clean......


Doesn't Florida water have lemon/orange in it.....as in citrus oil?If it does,it will clean them but the oil will come to the surface when they warm up and glaze the rotors.

I always wondered what was the best way to do this. Thanks for explaining so clearly. Where does one obtain a sufficient quantity of Florida Water? BTW, I'm not located in Florida, so I would need to find a reliable supplier to ship to me.

To remove a contaminate like metal or sand particle from a disc brake pad, use a pick or needle to dislodge. For heavy oil contaminate, discard the pad. To remove glazing or light finger oil contaminate, rub the pad across clean medium grit sand paper, 600 grit for example. Most bike pad compounds are held together with organic binders which can degrade with brake cleaner saturation, for that reason I don't recommend brake cleaner or Acetone, and really there is no reason to use a liquid cleaner in the first place; definitely don't use a product on the pad surface which can leave a residue. If debris is heavily deposited around the caliper and pad, use compressed air to break free, and only from a source with an oil/water separator filter installed in-line.

For optimum braking performance pad material needs to transfer to the brake rotor, the rotor should only be wiped off if muddy, and only water used if necessary.

It is a toilet water, can help you to avoid mosquitos , or flies. I do not know whether abroad have toilet water? We use it to avoid mosquitos , or flies in summer, smell very sweet, also can clean the Braking lining

tonyjaja

It has strong ability to clean, you can try it

Never use automotive brake cleaners. Bicycle rotors don't get hot enough to burn up the residue left on the rotor.

What the French call "eau de toilette", or we'd call "perfume"; gotcha.
