Wash you disks with friction alcohol and do the same with the pads

Isopropyl alcohol and cotton balls. Pretty common household things so you should have them already.

No don't do this I does work and ruines your rotors. It's for cars not bike the friction on Car rotor is much more and burns of residue and bikes can't get the residue of.
