how do you get the rust stains off the brake disks?

 

ummm... start your car - drive forward - apply your brakes! it happens to all cars and means nothing - it's what steel does... it's called flash - once your brakes are applied, it's gone in less than a second...

 

^^^^ Roger that!

 

Need I say more?

 

Or you can swap out the stock rotor for a drilled/slotted zinc plated rotor. No more rust ever!

 

If it's plated though, what do you do when the plating wears
through? You still have steel under that!

 

rust on brakes is normal. nothing to worry about until it squeaks, that is the time to change the brakes...

 

thanks i saw the rust before i bought it and drove it so its gone now but thanks anyway

 

He might be talking about the parts that don't get rubbed by the pads. For that either get a caliper paint kit or clean off the rust you don't want and use a good quality high heat paint on them.

 

my explanation rocked!

 

Hey Raven. What I meant was that if you had the zinc plated rotors then the zinc would protect the rotors anywhere the pads DIDN'T touch (like near the hub). Of course where the pads do make contact then the dust would be knocked right off but anywhere else it would be protected. Does that make any sense? lol
