Here is what a rotor looks like after glass bead blasting
on the left and walnut shell blasting on the right.

Incredible difference! I was wondering if anyone looked into using oven
cleaner to remove carbon deposits. It was a suggestion a few weeks ago. I
tried it on my bad rotor and it worked quite well. Is there any reason not
to try it on the good rotor?

I have not tried oven cleaner yet. We need to have a rotor clean off contest :-)
Glass bead blasting a rotor can be done in less than five minutes, is very clean 
in the work place and is very low cost once you have the bead blaster. You do need 
to be extremely careful to get all the glass particle off however.
