Stained Motorcycle Brake Rotors, HELP!
I recently used MOTHERS "All Wheel" cleaner on my brand new motorcycle wheels.
Even though I went exactly according to the directions, it permanently stained my brake rotors.
Not only the parts that come in contact with the brake pads but all over and around the bolts that fasten the rotors to the wheels.
I can not get the stains out no matter what I try.
Other than taking them off and having them buffed out does anyone have any suggestion on how I can remove the stains?
Any help is greatly appreciated....

Maybe some grade of steel wool depending on how bad they've gotten.

Yes, I contemplated 0000 steel wool but was prefering to remove it by polish/wax or chemicals.
Also, the steel wool could make it worse.

I do use their wheel & tire cleaner on my SV650 rotors & wheels & they haven't been affected yet.
But I did google "mothers wheel cleaner stained rotors" and I did find some people saying it did stain their rotors.
I read the back & it said it's non-acidic & it's acids that mostly cause this.

I would try to spray it with "PB Blaster" Let it soak overnight, then small brass brush. I hope this helps.
