I also use clean paper towels. I keep wiping the braking surfaces with a towel sprayed with BrakeKleen until nothing comes off on the towel.

There is nothing worse than doing the whole brake job and then getting a pulsing rotor from missing a sport.

Also break-in the new rotors slowly. Take it easy for the first few 100 miles or so to let the pads match the surfaces and establish a heat set. Rotors done this way seem to last a long while.

Be sure to double-check the wheel bolt torque- once will assembly and once again after just a few miles.
