    Never had a garloc leak but I also use RightStuff by Permatex. Dealer could sell you OEM gasket. Zzp and rockauto has felpro for $10 or so.
    Assuming you're using garloc because you are inter cooled, then a stock gasket wouldn't be ideal. What you have now is ideal but you need to seal it up better ; torque it correctly or both

    When you put a new one on.. take a look at your Garleak and see how it's cut. ZZP isn't known for quality and often their gaskets don't have much material to seal an edge if at all.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I don't see your car year make model etc or a mod list to help you. But I would say NO don't spray anything on the SC rotors

    DO NOT CLEAN IT. That nasty stuff is helping it seal better and work better.

    If you want to strip the rotor coating, I do suggest CRC TB cleaner as I have tested it works rather fast to eff up a charger.
