As above, Cars been sitting for a while and the discs have gone rusty (as they do) I know that a quick drive will clean them but is there a way to stop it happening in the first place?

Happend to me over winter :blink:

 

And i still got rusty discs :lol:

This may help, a plastic bag big enough to fit over your wheels, jack the car up and put the bag over the wheel and tape the bag closed, some of those moisture bags inside it may also help.

Whoever suggested putting any sort of lubricant on the disks wants to be shot! Whilst new disks come pre-soaked in lube, this should be cleaned off thoroughly before fitting them. Pads will absorb the lubricant and will wreck them causing brake deficiency. Do NOT put lube on the disk surfaces if the disks are staying on the car.

 

Any sort of primer or thin varnish that can easily be burnt off is fine.

put yer socks back on then :laugh:

I have the problem, I keep spraying and wiping mine with brake and clutch cleaner. It evaperates off quite quickly but it will allow you to make sure they are perfectly clean and dry preventing the surface rust in the first place.

si, i think me and jmwuk were joking about the oil bit! hence the lol,, any one stupid enough to believe me and put oil on there breaks,,,, well, shouldent ever touch cars at all! :nono:

I've seen someone do it! LOL. Covered their disks in copper slip! Then wondered why his brakes were less than useless!

vasaline works but you do need to wash it off :lol:

:stupid:

Not really as daft as others make out, got the same issues with mine - sits on the drive for weeks at a time and I now have pitted discs (strangely, the rears are a lot worse than the fronts:confused1:) which isn't good for discs with less than 8000 miles on them!!!

Oh well, they're a bit small for the new'ish alloys, so might be forced to upgrade - guess the missus might believe me ...............:innocent:

Yeah, i had the same problem with my car. had a cover on it and ended up having to get the wing mirrors and spoiler completely re-painted and the rest of the ca r professionally polished up by a bodyshop.

 

You could cover the wheels with black bin liners, then at least you wont have to look at the rusty discs :lol:
