so after a month without washing my car, i washed it the s13 today and while i was cleaning my wheels i noticed my brake rotors are all yellow! and i mean completely yellow! looks almost as if they were spray painted that color. now i changed my pads last november, my rotors in december, and i did apply some brake quiet to the pad shims but not the contact surface (just incase anybody asks) my brakes work fine, other than that i dont know why they would have all turned yellow. has this happened to anyone else and why?

thanks.

are you sure it's not rust? my rotors oxidize when i wash my car. it's normal. do they stay yellow after you drive your car around for a while?

have you driven it since you washed it? that usually comes off after you drive it. unless its something else

i drove it but it home but it was too dark to tell if it was still on there...it didnt look like rust at all...just really yellow looking rotors...ill check in the morning.
