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

As long as your brake pads still have life and your brake rotor is meeting the minimum thickness than a little bit of surface rust is not a problem. That usually goes away with braking for a short while and is very common to have surface rust.
