My car has been sat for a good while so the disc surfaces are rusty....do i just leave it and let the brake pads clean them up??????Then change to new pads???Or have i got to clean em up...if so best methods please

 

Brake pads will take that off no probs, just drive it

 

Depends how rusty Phil

I would whip the discs off and use a bit of emerry cloth on them

 

use the pads...just some gentle braking willl soon clean em up ...

 

mine are the same aswell lol, been sitting for nearly a year

 

i took mine off and used the electric sander on em till they shine again, spot on

 

Just drive it. That is also good for de-glazing the pads

 

why not paint them- that will stop then becoming rusty

 

some very fine sand paper and then give them i wipe over with paint thinners

 

when I put mine back on the road after a 16 mths lay off discs were rusty all over time I drove it not even 2 miles all back as new

 

phil...just take it out and drive it you plank

 

Mine looked like that after standing for a year.
A quick drive round the block cleaned them up fine. Mind you one of the calipers was stuck on so that was extra clean (and very hot).

 

your best of just cleaning the disks, what people forget is after driving around the block, you only have to get back and clean all the shit from the disks thats now on your wheels!

 

i take it there's no way to prevent this rust on dicks? i mean you even get it after leaving the car after a wash, or even just overnight!

just looks mince but comes straight off after a short drive..

 

Rusty dicks..........lol

Sounds painful

 

well my dick never gets rusty, the missus sees to that

 

lmao whooops!

i spell disks two different ways, disks & discs, it's easy to get it all mixed up

 

Cheers guys...i will just drive it,de rust them....then change the pads over
