what should i do to get them ready for the strip?a light scotchbrite took most off but should i get the rest so the pads dont get contaminated with it or run it.

Clean em up as much as you can then run em! They'll soon clean up! The only time youd worry is if there was any heavy pitting. Surface rust is nothing to worry about!

Jees thats harsh! Yeah your right I'd rather have it stolen than just trashed like most thieves would leave it! Sadly we cant carry pistols here so we have to resort to bashing skulls and breaking limbs manually when we catch the theiving ba****ds!

Our rotors look like yours after every weekend of mud racing , we havent had any problems they clean up as soon as you hit the brake, its a little harder on the pads but I havent changed mine in 3 years, as long as the rotors are strait and no deep pitting they should be fine

mine are about 9yrs old with plenty on the pads i see. for you i am sure adding water all the time does not help.

my thin ones up front looks like that, about 20 minutes of work on the brake lathe cleaned them up.

took no more than a couple thous. now they are nice and straight, also used a green 3m sanding cookie and put a nice finish on them
