get some brake cleaner that shit works wonders! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

also maybe sand them down with some 220 sandpaper just to help the paint adhere a lil better

This stuff can be found at any local autozone, pepboys???

You really don't need to clean them with high tech stuff. Just soap and water and then dry. People get all crazy about cleaning stuff before you paint it, but I don't know. I just went right in. I guess it couldn't hurt, but it's your $$.

if i was to use standard water and soap to clean them, would i need to reapply grease/lube before installing them???

WD40 and a stiff wire brush
