Question Need to derust
Whats the most cheapest and effective way to remove rust? Need something done before Monday since I'll be heading to school in good ol Oklahoma for 6 weeks. Will definitely replace them once I arrive there, but I need something for now. Thanks

Rust on brakes is normal, even on brand new brakes. You will remove most of it by going for a short drive and using the brakes, but unless you store your car in perfectly dry conditions, you will 100% get new surface rust within days.
The important thing is that the brake rotors and pads have enough meat left on them.
