Cleaning MLS head gaskets

If I cleaned MLS head gaskets with brake cleaner or rubbing alcohol will this remove the .001 viton coating?

You use scotch brite to clean the gasket? I am asking about cleaning the gasket not the block.

Looks like mine are toast, black Viton coating came off. Anyone use Felpro MLS gaskets, are they good?
