does anybody know how to remove rust? I took off my front wheels and noticed some rust. Its not hardcore rust, just a little bit on the rotors and such. Maybe a spray that'l remove it or something? What have you guys used and how are the results?

"Belt Sander"

just kidding. When I used to detail cars, we would use a 0.5 molar ratio of sulfuric acid, just spary it on where the rust is, scrub with wire brush, and then spray down with LOTS of water. Make sure you spary down the entire side of the car that any acid could have touched as well. It wont eat through your paint right away but can if you let it sit. If you dont feel comfortable/are able to get the materials to this your self, you can take your car to any dealership that has a detailing service and they should be able to do it for you for a slight fee, or free if you are nice about it.
