Any ideas on how to clean the front brake rotor?

Got a "sticky spot" on the rotor; rather than buying a new one straightaway I'd like to try to "clean" this one.

Don't tell me to try "Brand X" aftermarket super-spiffy pads; the sticky spot was caused by "Brand X" aftermarket super-spiffy pads, and I don't want to start a "brake pad war."

BTW, this is on '06 Uly. Thanks for any help.

American Sport Bike sells a tool for cleaning the rotor.

Only problem with that dingle berry hone is the rotor has to be removed to use it.

Brakeleen and a clean towel might help.
