I've got a pair of 303s FC CCs with 2,000+ miles on them since June. I've been using the Zipp Plat Pro EVO pads and on a recent replacement of pads on the front wheel I've started to get some brake residue, white streaking, etc on the brake track. Looks awful and makes horrific squeeling noises when stopping.
I called Wheelbuilder to ask about how to clean off the residue and bring back the smooth, clean-looking surface. Bennie's recommendation was Scotch Brite pad to clean the brake track. So I did that with what I would call some success. The residue is gone but it appears to have dulled the braking surface (and in a moment of stupidity the pad made contact with one of my decals and scratched it). I haven't gone for a test ride yet so I can't report the status of the noise.
What do you guys use for cleaning the brake track and removing baked on residue?
