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:

Wheel back on and no rust visible through the spokes of the wheel:

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>

Adding to tech.

Neat.

You could also use the high temp silver.

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?

4AudiQ

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.

4AudiQ

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

DVS27t

how much was the gallon? i bought some little ones

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