Polishing the brake rotors? ....A new level of anal retentive:eek
:rofl
It is on a pretty serious level of detailing. Say you purchase after market drilled and/or slotted rotors, maybe a big brake kit, and over a short period of time the holes and slots begin to brown out with surface rust. I go in there with a Dremel tool attached to very small squares of sand paper and polish up every hole, and use a small wire wheel on the slots. I usually have to change the piece of sand paper every two holes, so it's pretty time consuming.
After they're all cleaned up, cut a very large piece of thick plastic divider sheets, the kind used in household construction, cut another small slice in the center, and place it behind the rotor and pull the sheeting back outwards a long distance to prevent over spray on everything. I attach the sheeting to some 7 feet tall jack stands, usually four or five feet away from the actual brake rotor.
Spray a high temperature clear coat and then sand down the rotor surface after it has all dried to remove it, therefore leaving only the high temperature clear coat in the holes and slots, while the surface of the rotor will be kept clean by the brake pad itself.
The Corvette in the pictures had this done in May of this year and the owner says they still look like new :cool
It's a good idea if you love your car and are tired of looking at your expensive aftermarket rotors, look like junk, and also a great idea if you're entering your vehicle into a show just like a customer will be doing in November for Chevy Vettefest here in Rosemont, IL.
I think this stuff is pretty neat :thumbsup But this may just be a midwestern moisture issue :ack
