: How to elminate Brake Rotor Rust?!!? Thrillseeker197 08-04-2002, 05:31 PM Anyone know how to eliminate this??? I know after you drive a few and use the brakes the rust comes off. But I just hate to have rusty looking rotors. Is it just time for new brakes overall?? Any remedys until then?!?! (I hope so) Kyle CAMPPAIN 08-04-2002, 06:26 PM wheel covers or a car cover, or a garage. other than that its normal. NismoSER 08-04-2002, 07:03 PM Your rotors are made of iron. When iron gets wet, it rusts. You can't stop it, so just drive the car and use the brakes! Or you can get ceramic rotors from Brembo ;) Slow 96R 08-04-2002, 07:50 PM Originally posted by NismoSER Your rotors are made of iron. When iron gets wet, it rusts.

If so how much $ do they cost? sr20ser 08-04-2002, 08:16 PM Expensive... and probably not the most enduring. You could always go the Altimas.net way and spray them with WD-40!

Maybe this is why I find so much altima stuff in the junkyards.....:D Thrillseeker197 08-04-2002, 08:36 PM Fair enough! Guess i'mma just have to break down next month or so-ish and buy C/D and chamfered rotors w/ pads and lines. NO WAIT lemme run out to Wally World and buy 40 cases of WD and make it so I can't stop my car. ;) Kyle CAMPPAIN 08-04-2002, 10:07 PM Originally posted by sr20ser Expensive... and probably not the most enduring.

Come on I was kidding! now are you joking about altimas.net doing that? if so thats hilarious i want to see who actually did that and where in a post it says it Pretty White 08-05-2002, 12:04 AM Heres a trick, keep the car indoors when it rains or wipe the wheels off with waterless car wash. There is no way to eliminate rust. 93BlackBird 08-05-2002, 08:21 PM getting your next set of rotors cadmium plated like my KVR ones will prevent rust from the area the pad doesn't touch. Mndgy 08-05-2002, 08:51 PM cadmium plated....how much is that?.....:confused: aknapp 08-05-2002, 09:09 PM Originally posted by 93BlackBird getting your next set of rotors cadmium plated like my KVR ones will prevent rust from the area the pad doesn't touch. I have those exact rotors. They WILL rust after awhile. Mine are, but I've had them for about 3 years. dontblameme 08-06-2002, 12:17 AM Originally posted by Thrillseeker197 Anyone know how to eliminate this???...
