Cleaner for new rotor install?

What are you guys cleaning your rotors with before installing them? I was told that they needed cleaning due to the fact that they have some coating from the factory.

Not sure what you mean by "Rotor".

Can you throw us a few more clues?

Cheers.

He means brake rotors and there is no need to clean. the first few romps on them will wear off any residue on the rotor and pads. Just be cool the first 100 miles. You want to break the rotor in (heat cycles) right as well.

stoptech recommends cleaning their new rotors with soapy water. You could always try that for peace of mind
