TONS of rust on rotors

hey guys,

my car has been in storage for the winter...i'm thinking of taking it back out soon but I notice that A LOT of rust built up on the surface of my rotor as a result of my humid garage. Is it anything to worry about? Should I get rid of it before I start driving my R again? Thx for your replies.

I left my R under a tarp all last week because of all the rain we had and within a day or two my rotors were rusty. Less than a minute of driving and braking took care of it. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

If your really concerned about it,..take them off and dip them in HCI or Muranic Acid... (pool acid) this will take ALL the rust off.

Rust on rotors is nothing to worry about.

Cleaning rotors, I would recommend OxiSolve for your rotors. Dissolves rust completely and leaves a zinc phosphate coating.

Never heard of the stuff. Where can I source it? Does it create a suitable surface for painting after appropriate sanding?

Thanks for the tip!
