Is it a common practice, or even a sane practice to clear coat new rotors to keep iron from rusting? Saw someone do this and I need new rotors so...

You are talking about the brake disc rotors- correct?
If so, absolutley NOT!!! With what ever you put on them probly won't stay. Any surface rust they accumulate will come off in time. I know it doesn't look pretty. If you use WD-40 it will get on your pads and diminish some initial braking. I would be aware of that, but it wouldn't stoping me from using it. WD-40 started of as military product for Water Desperant (WD)/light lube. Its to bad someone doesn't make a stainless steel rotor. There is a possibilty that maybe a ceramic coat might stay on. Maybe someone can chime in on this. KP |
