brake rust

g1sk8terz · 07-22-2007, 10:53 PM

hi,
i went on vacation for a week and left my civic out in the driveway, when i returned there was rust on my front brakes. what should i do about this? should i just use the car and when i brake, it will clean itself?? or should i physically reach in and wash it?

Thanks!
Gerald

Brake rust is totally normal. Humidity or going through the rain will cause the discs to get superficial rust. As soon as you brake, it will begin to disappear. No worries.

Brakes are made out of iron so i'll rust.

Lol, Ironman is in the house.

But that kinda explains why many of the Civics at my local dealer had rusted brakes.
