craggsy 91 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Not unless you get ceramic discs.....as discs are made from cast iron so will rust Link to post Share on other sites

nivag27 5 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 You dont have to drive it far or fast to remove it Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Exactly... coating the brakes with something?! can't see what the problem with just using the brakes a bit to clean it off?As for shows... when you wash your car at a show you probably don't even get the brakes wet Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 ok dumb thing to say on my part Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I wouldnt worry, its just really light surface rust, if you touched them with sweaty hands, the next morning you would have rusty prints on themif you wash it at shows and them want to shift it after, wire wool will sort it Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 never parked my car at a show before but dont you get room to roll forward and backwards a few meters? Link to post Share on other sites
orangecruz 0 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 think everyone has missed the point i wash my car and wheels then when it has dried the discs look rusty i dont care about the rust apart from at shows .as for the move it forward and back thats fine but show organisers frown upon the cars moving once on the show field . thanks for the replys guys if anyone knows of a reason for this please let me know Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 raw metal is just vulnerable to everything in site and will rust or oxidise, sometimes overnight with moisture in the air, so the acids and minerals in the water and shampoo will speed up the process Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 show organisers frown upon the cars moving once on the show fieldI've never experienced that but then again I've never really had rusty discs at a show either Link to post Share on other sites

VR6_Absy 0 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 What about putting bin bags over the wheels while you wash and dry ;-) might give a try when next in a field Link to post Share on other sites
