Disc Rust behind Wheel Face..?
Wolfpacker sent me a sample of Wheel Brightener and i absolutely love it...my wheels had some bad built up brake dust and it just got them spotless!!! (Thanks again WP) But being on the acidic side, it also caused some rust on my discs and i am just wondering would a thorough coat of 10W40 take this off and is this safe? Is it something i can fix or is it that i have to just deal with it?? Thanks guys!

Its not from the wheel cleaner but the water caused the rust. The rotor is bare metal so any water that gets on them causes surface rust. As soon as you use your brakes the rust will be removed by the brake pad.

The wheel acid will start a slight oxidation..but not bad..it will go away after a drive or so..but never...never...never use any oil on the rotors or brake parts..or you may have a problem stopping in the rain or even a dry day...
its normal for those areas to oxidize a bit even with water... Al

Like everyone one has said already after a quick drive you should have the surface rust gone. Glad you like the WB.
