I agree with scotchbrite and brake clean but I do a final wash with soap and water, brake clean can cause issue with the pad material depending on type of pad.Scotchbrite. Cleans and scuffs without removing any metal or leaving scratches.
I've never had a problem with brake cleaner really, so I still use it.

any parts store should have brake cleaners.
I thought the stock pads were carbon, on the 08 at least?Scotch brite or fine emery cloth is fine. Followed by brake cleaner. Its a "must do" process if you are switching to carbon pads such as SBS.
