Default How to clean the rotors

So, my rotors are pretty much rusted up from all the rain in vancouver.

I was just wondering, which product should i use to clean (prevent) off the rust from the rotors.

Also my caliber are rusted up too, and i'm thinking of painting them black. Any paint suggestions?

And if someone can link me to any diy on how to take off the rotors will be great.

thanks in advance =)

oor.. u can search for one of the topics a a month or so back..

the owner sanded down the rust and sprayed the whole rotor with some type of paint that is rust proof i guess..

n after u use the brakes the pads will eat up all the un-needed paint
