I've heard several comments about cleaning carbon.  I don't know if I'll 
have that problem, but I wanted to share an idea that I got off of one 
of those DIY shows.  The topic was about cleaning a grill, and several 
options were given:

1--oven cleaner

2--wrap in paper towels, spray down with ammonia, seal in aluminum foil 
for several hours.

3--wrap in aluminum foil and back on high heat for several hours

Would any of these present major drawbacks to cleaning a rotor without 
all the elbow grease?
