I drive my car about once or twice a month to get the engine running and the battery charged. I realized that after a little while when I don't drive it (especially when it's cold) it seems the rotors have rust on them or at least it looks that way. It that ok? Should I buy new rotors?

 

apply brakes - rust magically disappears

 

Paint the surfaces not in contact with brake pads. Black caliper paint on the edges and hat looks great.

 

zinc plated rotors will solve that

 

drive it more than twice a month = problem solved.

seriously though... do you spray anything on the tires right before parking it off for the next 30 days? Might be some residue aiding in the rust coming up quicker than it should normally.

 

Rotors are made of iron. Iron forms a light oxidation skin (i.e. rust) with wet or moisture. It's not a concern, just take it for a drive and apply the brakes to remove the oxide skin.

 

Respect the chemistry.

 

you will need to purchase a dehumidifier for your storage facility, and a space heater - control of dewpoint is crucial to the elimination of rust -

 

Op lives in Louisiana! He's need an industrial strength dehumidifier to control the humidity there!!!

 

Or just get a Car Capsule
