Brake rotor rust

[GreatAvalon]

After each wheel, I use either the air compressor or the air force blaster, and that seems to tremendously cut down on the rust.

That's a good tip!

Yes I understand your problem, I just hate that rust on the rotors. I think the solution is to drive the car with light application of brakes, it doesn't need much to get the rotors clean. I never thought that when it rains the rotors must get rust just like a wash.

What are your plans for cleaning up those wheels?

Interested to hear what combination of cleaners and abrasives end up working for you.

Good Luck

Have Fun

Nothing big, those are how my wheels look after some rain lol...

It gets my thorough once a year cleaning using:

Simple Green (Diluted 1:10) or Sonax
Agitated with both a Boar's Hair Brush and EZ Wheel Brush or
Wheel Woolies

Does a wonderful job getting them clean

Then the Collinite 476 as a wheel wax. Updates pending on how well this works out for me.

Wow....I thought you were going to say:

- Clay
- M205 by hand
- Coating

Looks like the 476 is not holding up very well

Looking forward to the Glamour Shots

Oh, 476 was applied for the first time just last week.
We've had too much rain here for me to go about doing my usual business.

But I would clay them...once I get my track wheels on and have these show wheels off the car.
Then I'd go 105 or D151 by hand and potentially give them a full Duragloss treatment

The car doesn't get washed very often as it doesn't get dirty. Also it is never driven in the rain. Normally when I do wash it I just go down the driveway and apply the brakes a couple of times. That works very well. However it was raining out this time so I could not take the car outside.

Taking the car around the block resulted in the picture below. Rust everywhere, even on the side of the car. The car is dirtier now than before I washed it.

I may try the Hydes, problem is getting to the back side of the rotor. Another thing I may try if it is raining out is jack up the car and turn the wheel a few times. I dont have the room to roll it in the garage.
