A water based engine degreser to get the lose stuff off and then gave it a good scrubbing with some brake fluid.
Its a water based grime remover so it should be fine. The later was to see what you would say I didnt directly rub the pads anyway.
So you like wasting our time.......no doubt Alex, I and others on here who try to steer those who are genuinely looking for help will have your card marked, you having pretended to be clueless and then like a wind-up with no hint of a bit of fun - a smilie maybe? The next time you seek help don't be surprised if it falls on deal ears
I was clueless in my original post, and i thought the second part would be taken as a joke. I didnt intend to waste anyones time nor wind anyone up, hence the winky face. I appreciate your help and i apologise if it was taken the wrong way.
