    Hello again... good to be back! 😀

    I've been advised on a US forum to use Scotchbrite pads -- green or white -- to clean a sticky brake disc and pads. Is this available in Ireland or can anyone suggest an alternative? TIA.

    well its kinda like sandpaper in that its "gritted" green is average grit white possibly finer etc woodies or the likes might have some not sure what its supposed to do for you though ? a good scouring pad would be similar just not graded

    Just want to get burnt-on crud off disc and pads, but without overdoing it. Hence the query re the grade.

    Wouldn't a scouring pad be too much?

    Scotch pads are good at cleaning most things made of stainless steel, I use them a lot on stainless sinks and other stuff. Easily purchased in Ireland at the likes of https://www.gasweld.ie/product/3m-scotchbrite-hand-pads/ amongst others. Just get the right grade.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    any industrial abrasive seller should have them, or paint materials suppliers (car body repair use them too)

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Job done. Searched around and finally found Scotchbrite at J&S Dun Laoghaire. Also got brake cleaner at half Halford's prices.
