Well, I accidentally got some of the soap and water on my car and on my skin and it miraculously cleaned those too...and THAT is why this is one of the greatest you tube videos ever made.

Short. Sweet. Simple. Not too much narrative, straight to the point! Great video!!! 🙌🏼

soapy water is actually really good on brakes collects all the brake dust cleans everything removes old grease it's just better. as long as you drive your car after so your rotor doesn't rust

I use the power washer and soap at the self-serve car wash every month to blast the road dirt and grease off my motorcycle rotors. Works great. I used to think that I had to take it apart and soak it in some specialised fluid. Turns out dirt is dirt. It doesn't know what you are using. As long as it degreases you are gold.

In the brakes ASE certification test that is one of the answers on how to properly clean machined brake rotors

Geeee Cody, We could never get you to clean pots and pans that well.

Why didn’t they do both sides of the rotors?

The soap and water actually brought some Of the shine back to the rotor which maybe the brush helped break some stuff off there as well but the brake parts cleaner just barely cleaned some of the surface grime. I learned a new trick today.

Thanks helped alot. Awesome video

Great job guy's that really helped me out and it's not harmful to the environment !(dish detergent and water) Keep up the good work guy's!!!

Great DIY guys

Why not do both? Brake cleaner first the soap/water. You have the wheel off already....just go full force cleaning. Brake cleaner may get stuff off which soap/water didn't and vice-versa...

I always use soap and water for my motorcycle brake caliper. Works great

been using soap and water to do all my brake jobs, only time i use brake cleaner if im in a rush, soap and water then i use a mini air blower.

I've always used soapy water on drum brakes cause of the dust

Groovy man thanks

Matt's dancing is contagious. For all those wondering what music Matt was dancing to, it's "Silant" by French rapper DeMuite.

And have you ever tried to clean car carpet with dish soap? 1/4 - 1/3 oz soap (3-4 pumps), dilute with water. Quick Prewash carpet to remove crumbs and dirt, then drizzle the solution all over. Use your shoes/boots to scrub evenly. If you’re ok to get your hands dirty then scrub lightly with any flat head brush (up&down, back&forth). Apply concentration to spots you wish to focus and give them couple swirls to dissolve. Leave 30min to 2 hrs, rinse. Garden hoses work just fine for this method.

I guess the less destructive of metal brushes would be the gold brass bristle ones? I need more of those, nylon bristle not as effective. The light surface rust (on the other surfaces besides the actual brake track) is inevitable and just cosmetic eh?

Nice video, thanks. One has to wonder if those guys in the jungle of Latin America use brake free. Good old soapy water always did wonders.

Will this work on new brake pads and rotors ? I recently got them replaced and I hear a slight squeak when I brake. It’s not that loud but it’s still annoying !

ok first you said nylon brush, then you said metal brush, can you clarify which kind did you use? nylon or metal ? thanks

I’m using dish soap thanks for the video

Well I would like to see how to get that white corrosion off of the engine bay

Good job.. why this dude dancing so bro stay still lol

I like the dish soap cleaning

I actually want to give my brake parts a soapy water bath after seeing this. I enjoy deep cleaning my car parts.

What’s the brush you used? I wanna get the same one from harbor freight

Well, I learned something new today! 😀

What soap was used? and dilution? I guess hot from the tap is what was meant?

Isn't brake cleaner sufficient also with the rag/brush?

Mind blown

How about the rear brakes? Drum brakes?

It was a nylon brush

Will this get rust off of the rotors???

Did you clean both sides of the rotor, or only the outer side?

Hey guys is there a way I can do this on the car, I have a 2022 BMW with 6000 miles and I want the rotors look fresh, but I don’t want to ruin the finish on the rims… Nor do I want to take the tires off lol👌🙏

Do you recommend taking the wheel off? Or is it okay to spray with wheels on?

Did this clean the rust off the rotor or is that just dirt?

what about rust after soap water

Break cleaner smells so good

Bro camera quality be looking like a 4K ting

Why not use the brush with the brake cleaner too? I think thats what the difference was, brush vs no brush.

Dilution ratio?

what about another side of disc🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Holy fuck I'm getting all 4 sides of my 4runner

Soap and water side was dirtier.

0:33 what's with the dancing Matt

i use soap water works better i use brake cleaner it squeaks more

If you're gonna use a brush for one, use it with the other too lmfao

Nylon Brush or Wire Brush? 4:00 "Now,we've soaked it down, hit it with our NYLON BRUSH . . ." 4:55 "I'm not sure if it was this or this or the WIRE BRUSH itself . . . "

You’re using a wire brush right?

Is Matt drunk or just playing a tune in his head no one can hear?

Line in rotor aren’t good !
