Title: Scotch-Brite: Which side to use on rotors?

Hey guys,

Looking to clean up my rotors this weekend. Which side of the scotch-brite pads do you guys use? The tough green side, or the softer yellow? Also, any other uses for the these? Can I scrub my engine block with it?

Scotch-Brite will remove paint.

Not a good choice for painted surfaces.

Never saw a two sided Scotch-Brite. I use the green on the friction surface of the rotor with brake cleaner. If you wouldn't use sand paper, emery cloth or steel wool on a surface don't use a Scotch Brite

The second type is what I use on the friction surfaces of the rotors. I use green. They will scratch the carriers.
