Rusty Disk Rotor in Brand New Car?
Heya, anyone seen rusty disk rotor when collected brand new car?
The reason I am asking because normally the car sits weeks/months at port and in dealership's warehouse. Those disk rotors are very prone to rust, isn't it? I know I am noob and I want to enrich myself from your experience :-) |

Why? Every car in the world is like that. That's how chemistry works, lol.

Here's a YouTube video that explains all about this. Just don't do the oiling trick they use, just drive the car to fix that surface rust. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=louBM-Mix7s[/ame]

Thank you guys for the replies. It is totally understandable about nature of the elements. But, isn't manufacturer should follow a way so that at least rust will start growing after leaving the dealership?
I am just nut about it. I work for Apple and I saw that all brand new products from Apple feels so nice and satisfying when you buy it. (after that what happens, thats another story thou) |

I know I sounds stupid. Reason behind it is, my Brand new 86 is set to deliver end of this month. So many stupid things coming in my mind and can not get rid off it. Thats why I came to you guys.
