Best thing is brake cleaner, as used for cars and truck... Cheap and very good for removing grease on rotors and pads...0

Try electrical contact cleaner which degreases and evaporates leaving the discs dry and oil free.0

The contact cleaner is a degreaser which evaporates after a minute or so. you can spray it onto a rag then wipe the rotor clean, or flush in a large amount if you want.
Car brake cleaner will be much the same.0
