you want to soak the rotors in some cleaning solution for a while to break off the carbon. Becareful not to damage the rotor surface.

some carb cleaner or kerosene(highly flammable, be careful).
as for the housings just spray it with degreaser, hose off with pressure.
hope this will help.

I got all the carbon off my rotors with paint thinner (mineral spirits $1 a gallon).
