Uh, I'm sure I would need a Plan B in this case, as this wouldn't go over too well either where I live or where my garage is.
 
Garage Owner:" Uh Ron, what are you doing ?"
Me: "Oh, just setting my brakes on fire !"
G.O.: "So when did you say you were moving out ?"

A great solution to contaminants on brake drums is to set them on fire.  (Don?t laugh ? it works fantastically.)

 

Spray them heavily with brake cleaner and light them on fire.  The combination of heat and cleaner even gets oils out of the pores in the metal.  The temps are still much lower than they get in real use, and little if any residue is left behind. An old-timer recommended this with my ?locking-on-first-use? problem on my ?59 DeS.

 

Note of the obvious ? don?t do this indoors.
