I know that some new rotors come with a coating that is meant to be left on and the brake pads wear it off.
Other rotors come with a coating which must be removed with brake cleaner prior to installation.

OEM Mopar Brembo rotors for Hellcat are which type? The pad contact surface looks flat gray, not shiny...

Thanks!

Either way you cannot go wrong by cleaning them with brake cleaner. No?

That’s how they come new. Brake cleaner won’t take the coating off, I don’t believe (been a few years since I installed a new set). The coating is supposed to stay on, just install and clean with brake cleaner to get any grease and stuff off, then drive!

Here is a pic from when I upgraded to Hellcat brakes on my old Scat Pack Shaker. You can see the slight coating on the rotor. It will come off but not with just wiping with brake parts cleaner I don’t think. Pretty sure this pic was after I cleaned everything up.

Hey thanks, guys. I can get a picture tomorrow...
The rotors look like the AeroF16 setup. Gray coating...

The rotors come in a vacuum plastic (+ in a box) so they're not exposed to air...

Then reassemble & drive the car easily for 200 to 300 miles.

Torque the lug nuts...

I'm going to put Power Stop Z26 1405 pads on too- there is a specific pad bedding procedure that they recommend.
It's not an overly aggressive procedure, but I thought the Dodge manual was more along the lines of what Blickie says... Pros, cons to bedding in as stated on the pad instructions??

Thanks, again for weighing in Blickie, and yes, 112# torque applied and rechecked after 50 miles.
Going to clean off the paint on the sides of the pads...apply high temp silicone on prescribed surfaces...
Been reading up on Hellcat.org lol!

Suggest Z26s on rears as well; don't mix friction compounds.

Bedding can put too much heat into the brakes too quickly & ruin a new brake job & rotors. Am not a fan unless you put new pads on at the road track; then bed before tracking.

Drive the car moderately for a couple hundred miles. This will burnish the pads into rotors, polishing the rotors with a mirror finish while transferring some brake resin from the pads to the rotors.

Ok, makes sense.
Thanks again!

There are plastic "bubbles/ creases" and cardboard along the edges of the rotor- no damage as it looks like at first.
Gray coating all over the pad contact surface...
