What you planning do with it??

I would imagine so as it leaves a residue IIRC.

cleaned the stickers off my bike and not sure if it has effected brake performance or if they need a bleed, as after a good clean brakes do not seem to be as good!!

yep as TJ said it leaves an oily residue - try brake cleaner - if that doesn't work - new pads/bleed

Yes it does, occasionally get slight overspray on mine after careless chain cleaning. The good news is it seems to be short term in it's effect, brake a few times in dirty conditions and it all goes back to normal(unless you've actually soaked them, obviously, probably time for new pads then).

Actually Mark Datz is right. The oven is your friend. Just open the windows before you open the oven door.

yes it does leave oil on the rotor/pads, use IPA (not the beer!) instead
of course some clever dick will be along in a second to tell you that it doesn't matter because
