d/s dura stop rust
My first thread. I'm not sure this is the right place to post it but I figured it would be seen by the most here...
Just finished a gully-washer of a downpour here in North Reno. Walked outside to shammy the coupe.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat!?!?!?
Can anyone tell me how to keep this from re-occurring. I've got the CorrosionX/RejeX pack coming to help seal my Black Chrome letters from Willfulone, will that work?

"Every time I wash my car, I put the car on jackstands and remove the rotors and carefully place them in individual padded silk bags. Once the car is washed, I get my handling gloves on, and simply reinstall them. Easy."

Oh; and does the silk bag vendor sell handling gloves, too...? 
Thanks, I can live with it. Was just wondering if there was a spray coating of some sort anybody had found? I'll probably go have them dipped.

Get some zinc dipped rotors like www.sportbrakes.com
Total knee-jerk reaction, just the rust-colored ring left after the drive home. Not much to clean off really.

They are completely clean by the time I reach the end of my street after braking a couple times. Don't worry about it!

Doesn't matter, normal brakes will ALWAYS show rust on the firepath. Whatever coating the brakes have will be burned off by the pads too... just like the rust will. My cadmium coated Powerslot rotors do the same thing. The coating does keep the hats and vanes from rusting though (non-contact areas)

This forum has dramatically increased my learning curve on maintaining and enjoying my C5!! Thanks to all!

Never noticed any significant rust before when drying my coupe. Maybe the car washing fluid has something to do with it. Walking outside after that downpour just caught me off guard. That color in the sun kinda sparks an idea though; does anybody know if anodizing would work for rotor discs and what anodized rotors would look like?
