shelbydream1 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Anyone have any suggestions for keeping the brake rotors from getting a little surface rust while the car sits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only halfway through drying it off and I noticed the rotors were already rusted orange! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69dejavue Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 My car is in AZ where it is as dry as possible. When I wash the car in the driveway the rotors start to rust. However, a quck drive around the block and the rust is gone. This may be another reason to buy the zinc plated crossed drilled and slotted rotors which should not rust.

SGT#3670 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 If you are worried about the rust on the edge of the rotor I would suggest pulling the rotor off the car, scrub the rust off the edges, then use some rotor paint. Since I am pulling the rotors off the car to address the rust on the axle, I will be spraying mine this weekend. I am not worried about the rust that forms of the surface of the rotor since the pads will remove it when I hit the brakes. I just hate the fine line of rust on the edges.
