Prevent brakes from rusting - HondaClub.com

Is there anyways to prevent the rotors from rusting, it really ruins the overall look when the rotors are orange / brown

Is it possible to paint rotors?

painting rotors...NO. bad, bad idea.

You can use anti squeek from an auto parts store to remove the rust or possibly steel wool.

anyways to get rid of the rust on the inside of the rotors?

actually you can order stuff called "naval jelly" it's a spray on rust remover.

hmmm, found it on amazon, if it works for $8 is better than sanding rotors

You do need to be careful with it. Use gloves and don't get it on the paint. It will remove wax. You have to take the wheels off in order to use it properly.

sounds like some potent stuff

maybe I'll just try slamming the brakes at 80mph first

No more then Simple Green. Doing the 80 thing won't work (I note sarcasm but just for reference) The rust is coming from all the places the pad isn't touching during braking so if it's not touching during normal braking it won't be any different at 80.

just drive the car and the rust will go away

We are talking in areas brake pads do not touch.
