Serious question about brake discs
«

I've noticed my brake discs on 6 month old car are showing a bit of rust.
Is this normal? I have seen this on others cars but maybe slightly older.
What can I do to prevent it?

are you saying it's rusty when it rains and then clears up or is rusty because of the rain
it would figure the rain is causing it but my question is what's the end point, where does it all lead
how much is it gonna cost me

yeah brake discs noramlly start to show "rust" at just the thought of getting wet, this is becuase its exposed metal.
you'll find that you'll get "rust" from just washing the car.
the "rust" disappears after you've driven the car though doesn't it?

it's not the brake itself but the part just inside the alloys
it's all metal...............
