Rusting Rotors Solution..........
 

Here is what my front rotors look like.......rust galore!

Into a plastic pan to remove the rust:

I ran across this stuff from a Google search. Non-toxic, biodegrable, earth friendly,
Evapo-rust. I bought 2 gallons at a local gun shop. He raved about the stuff. He does all his guns in it:

The hubs had some rust on them so, 000 Steel Wool, cleaned with alcohol to remove any residue,
studs taped off ready to paint(Dupli-Color High Heat 1200 degree flat black spray paint):

Rusty rotors submerged in the Evapo-Rust solution:

Rust all gone after just 1 hour. Rinsed with water and then air dried over night:

Hubs all painted:

Rear rotors are just as rusty:

Nickel Anti-Seize:

Putting Nickel Anti-Seize inside the rotor before I put it on the hub will prevent it from rusting to the hub, which just occurred on this forum by JXR on his 8-10-2006 post:

Anti-Seize goes on the back of each pad:

I did this over a 3 day period. I am glad to get rid of the rust. Here is the link to Evapo-Rust.<ul><li><a href="http://www.evapo-rust.com/index.php">http://www.evapo-rust.com/index.php</a</li></ul>

Re: Rusting Rotors Solution..........
 

Neat.

You could also use the high temp silver.

FYI: according to the evapo-rust site, they NOW carry this stuff at autozones nationwide
 

i will be getting it tomorrow. did you clean the stuff first to get the brake dust off or did you just dump it in?

I called 3 or 4 of my local Auto Zones and they told me........
 

they did not carry it nor could they get it.
I finally bought it at a local gun dealer, who by the way loves this stuff.
I even talked to the President of Evapo-rust and told him about my trying to buy the gallon size at Auto Zone.

I just dumped the rotor in a pan of Evapo-rust and let it work.
 

Took about 1 hour.
I did wash it off after taking it out of the solution.

how much was the gallon? i bought some little ones

i have done my caliper carriers thus far. the stuff works great! good find.
 

i found a bin that will house my 345mm rotors so i am gonna dump em in tomorrow.
