Disc clean up...
« on: 24 September 2012, 14:51 »
Can anyone advise on methods and products regarding cleaning brake discs in situ?

I wanna get rid of the mild rusty looking patches on the dimples and circumference of the disc.

Thanks

It's a wire brush that goes in your drill  :grin:
I should've thought you can do it in situ yeah, as long as you wash all of the dust and crap off of your brakes before driving it again. Although by in situ, do you mean without even taking the wheels off? Cause it'll definitely make it easier with them off...

It's not bad like that. The discs have only seen 10k miles and are only 7 months old!
