How many times have you wondered....how can I stop rust on my brake rotors when I wash or detail my car. Its ugly and messy. We get this question quite often.

I'm happy to announce that we have found a great solution to prevent this from happening during your car wash.

No more having to go back and wipe down your inner wheels after all that hard work.

This is currently is the best solution that we know of to prevent rust from happening to the rotors during your washing and detailing. This is not a permanent solution, the rotors will rust after you drive in the rain or they get wet.

STOP the RUST from ruining your wash and details.

Manufacturer Description:

Rustopper effortlessly prevents rust from forming on your brake rotors after cleaning wheels and braking systems.

Product features:
- Rustopper was designed to prevent “rust dust” – the initial brake dust on clean wheels that occurs after washing.
- Rustopper’s Acid-free, pH-neutral formula will not attack wheel coatings, lug nuts or braking systems.
- Rustopper is safe on all types of steel and alloy wheels (including chrome and polished wheels), anodized finishes and single stage paints.

Directions for Use:

1. After cleaning wheel and braking system, rinse thoroughly with water and let excess water drip for several seconds.

2. From a close distance, apply liberally to brake rotor surface, spraying in a sweeping motion around the rotor face at least two times.

3. The liquid may fizz as it reacts with the iron rotor. Finally, wipe any excess liquid inside wheel.

Precautions:

Protect against frost or freezing. Do not apply in direct sunlight or to hot wheels.

POSSIBLE EYE AND SKIN IRRITANT. Contains Sodium Nitrite. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Use in well ventilated areas. In case of eye contact rinse immediately and thoroughly with water. Harmful by inhalation and if swallowed. Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause irritation of eyes and skin. In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Very nice. No idea this existed. Thanks.

[danewilson77]

Agree. Gonna need to add to arsenal.

[WOLFN8TR]

Nice, Thanks for the info!

[zhpnsnv]

Will consider to stop rusty hubs. For rotors just drive and apply brakes.

Interesting. My solution was always to drive it hard and brake and clean it :D

[MrMaico]

I ordered a bottle of this yesterday so we'll see how well it works. I always get "rust dust" after i wash my car......if I can't leave it sit in one spot for 30 minutes or so after a wash I will get a light brown stain on the inside half of the wheel. Not sure why I get it so bad, even right after I installed new rotors and pads and cleaned the caliper, dust shield etc I still got it the first time I washed it after replacing/cleaning everything and it hadn't gotten wet at all between then and my first wash about a week later. Also the pads I used don't dust at all so I don't get where it always comes from. Hopefully this will cure the problem. I like to try and keep the back half of my rims clean but it's a pain in the ass when this happens after every wash. Plus I think I've only driven in rain 1 time since installing the new brakes a couple of years ago.

let me know what you think.

let me know what you think.

Will do Phil.

I am in for review - the X5 really kicks off a lot of rust

[330i ZHP]

and how do you keep the rust from forming on the backside of the rotor?

[zhpnsnv]

Small hands. Flexibility. Go-go-gadget arm. Spray. Maybe?

[330i ZHP]

looking for review - any link to other forums or sources Phil?

NOT RECOMMENDED!

I seriously thought I had destroyed my brakes after using this stuff today! I went to the coin op car wash today to get the bugs off my car and to try out the Ruststopper.......I washed the car first and then sprayed them with the RS, I even rolled it ahead a bit to get the rotors soaked good. I was able to spend a good 1/2 hour in the bay (nobody waiting in line) before driving the car so I wasn't able to get a good read on how the RS worked since I didn't have problems with getting the brown scuz on my wheels if I could let the car sit after a wash.

Right after I left the wash I noticed a sort of grinding, pulsating sound coming from my brakes (not touching the pedal) so I started accelerating and slowing to try and get rid of the noise and it did quit the pulsating sound but after that every time I hit the brakes I would get the same grinding sound. It happened all the way home (1 1/2 miles or so) so I let it sit for 1/2 hour and went out for another drive and the brakes were still making the grinding on braking and also were starting to pulsate though the pedal as well as pull to one side or the other. So I tried a bedding in procedure on the way back home but it seemed like the pulsation in the pedal just got worse. I pulled into the garage and noticed the brakes smelled really hot so I went for another short drive to cool them off. As I was getting closer to home and the brakes had had a chance to cool down it seemed like the pulsation and noise had stopped....I sure hope so!

I have the BMW Performance rotors with ceramic pads, I would hate to think I warped those rotors somehow. I'll try another drive in a bit to see how they feel after a complete cool down. I noticed the front rotors have a distinct bluing to them now, must have gotten them plenty warm trying to bed them in.

I know one thing, the Ruststopper is going in the trash! Won't be using that stuff again!

Sorry for the bad review Phil but I would caution anyone else from using this stuff. Maybe it doesn't react well with ceramic pads? Surprised this stuff caused such a nasty reaction since it looks and smells like plain water.

this is not good news - thank you for the review and I really hope the issue is easy resolved

[ELCID86]

Yikes scary. Issue with ceramics?? Thanks.

Update: I drove my car for a couple hours last night and I'm happy to say that there doesn't seem to be any lasting effects. In fact, I assume from the 5 or 6 stop bedding in of the brakes that I did, the brakes feel even better then before. I must have been developing some pad transfer on the rotors because I could occasionally feel a slight pulsation under light braking before. Feels like that's gone now so at least there was something good to come out of this.

glad to hear no lasting issues - any final thoughts on the product? Will you give it another try? Would you recommend yet? Could it have been a fluke?

[danewilson77]

So...did it stop the rust on the rotors?

[M0nk3y]

I'm going to go out on a ledge and say that since you drove your car to a wash, and quickly washed it your rotors were hot.

Since you sprayed on hot rotors, you slightly warped them a tad bit by exposing water, or rust stoppers, or whatever unevenly on the rotors.

The rotors are blue because you cooked the living crap out of the rotors.


I could imagine the directions say spray directly on the rotor WHEN COOL.

Just saying, it sucks you when through that but I think I could of been user error somewhat

It certainly could have been a fluke but I don't understand what would have caused my brakes to sound and feel like they did. I can only assume it was some kind of reaction with the pad material, either on the pads themselves or from pad deposits on the rotor.

No, I won't be giving it another try. If you want to try it I'll send you what's left of my bottle.


So...did it stop the rust on the rotors?

Not sure. It looks like I may have some of the "rust dust" on the back half of my rotors that looks fresh but I can't say for certain. Or maybe you don't really see results until after the first application has had a chance to do its thing and you wash it for the second time.

No, the rotors weren't hot. Like I said in my op I washed and rinsed (cold water) the car before using the stuff. If that were the case then I would warp my rotors every time I use a car wash.

No, the rotors are blue from bedding in the brakes. I sure hope 5 or 6 hard stops from around 60 down to 30 mph wouldn't cook the living crap out of the rotors. But like I said earlier, they seem to be working great now so at least something good came out of this.

[330i ZHP]

the rust dust you mention could be the initial brake dust

[zhpnsnv]

Long story short: continue with current method of driving car after washing car to remove rust from rotors. Added bonus: clean both sides of rotors.

When I refer to rust dust (might not be the right term for it) I'm referring to the scuzzy tan colored water that flings out onto the back half of the rims when I drive it too soon after a car wash. If it can sit for 20 or 30 minutes to dry a bit it doesn't happen. I'm not really sure what causes it since I don't have any brake dust issues and it even happened with brand new rotors and pads. Almost seems like it would come out of the cooling fins of the rotor.

I'm not concerned with rust on the rotors, like was mentioned......just drive it to remove any rust. If I use the car wash they're dry/cleaned off by the time I get home. When I wash it at home (or when I get home from the car wash) I reverse the flow on the shopvac and use it to dry out all the cracks and crevices.......and the brakes.

[330i ZHP]

the rotors are IRON and rust in the cooling vanes...the water is still in there and when you drive, centrifugal force throws the rusty water/dirt/rust, etc
