I just replaced all of my rotors and only 3 weeks later I noticed that there is some considerable rust beginning to form. Is there an easy way to keep the rotors rust free? Granted they aren't the nicest rotors (standard ones from Advance Auto) but I was shocked to see rust forming so soon. I'd appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks in advance!

I live in the desert, and we still get rust on our rotors here... So If there is a cure, I'm not aware of it...

Just paint them about all you can do. But that doesnt prevent it just prevents it from hapening sooner.

well you could brush them off with the power tool brush,spray paint them black(3 layers) and then clear coat(2 layers) and i think you should be good.I did that.

you apply a THIN coat of grease to the surface of the hub and it wont rust anymore...

im looking into getting new rotors soon, just curious if zinc plated rotors actually prevent rust?

Not really, I picked some up a set for like 120 or something like that. But rust doesn't really kill anything.
I case you're wondering I got mine from these guys:

Mine were X drilled, slotted though.

just get a can of WD and go to town! LOL DON'T do this, just kidding! I think F550 is right on track. a THIN layer of white lithium grease to the hub.

Don't put them on your car or you could leave your car in the garage and never drive in any precipitation.

Welcome to Phoenix, Arizona... haha it still happens here..

rust will always form on the parts of the rotor where the pads meet the metal ... for everything else, like others suggested here: paint it with high-temp caliper paint (from autozone or other auto part store) or just pick up zinc/whatever-plated rotors.

hes asking about his rotors so i dont think painting them or applying grease is a good idea.

.....painting the applicable areas on the rotor is a good start.....

drive your car and press the brakes, if your rotors are fairly even and have been turned recently it will remove all the rust!!!

Get Extreme Stop rotors... a few of my friends have them for over 6 months now, and no rust...

How much did they pay per rotor?
