Rust on brake rotors?
 
My car has been sitting outside for a while and I cannot move it because of weather conditions.

Anyone have any idea on how to prevent rust from building on on the brake rotors? Maybe a product out there that I can spray on the rotors to help protect it from water so rust doesn't build up?

Thanks

As soon as you hit the brakes the rust will come right off. Nothing to worry about

There is no fix that is worth trying. Besides, it is not hurting anything and the first time you apply the brakes (when the vehicle is moving that is), it will be gone.

Will that damage the pads?

WD40 (or anything) on rotors is not a good idea.

no, it's nothing, probably just surface rust

Well, My car will not be moving anytime soon. This is why I was asking.

It will be sitting around for at least another two months. I figured prolonged rust build up would have some sort of problem. I guess not?

There was a vendor that had a product for sale that you would spray on your rotors that prevented them from rusting. It was a couple months back don’t recall the product or vendor but it does exist. The purpose behind it was at a car shows you could detail your car and apply this product so it wouldn’t rust and have your rotors orange at the show.

Honestly, do not worry about this.

keep the car inside the garage, control humidity if you can. rust on rotors is normal though.
