HELP, how to remove rust on Brake Rotors

[Red sport.]

Bought a 4 Yr. old FLRT Free Wheeler front brake rotor has rust on it, was told it was garage kept But it has rust here & there like to clean it up.

I found Rust-Oleum Rust dissolver Gel at WalMart tried a little it works But scared to spray the hold rotor. (spray it on wet surfice wait 30 min. rinse off with water hose) need suggestions what's best. PS: called Harley dealer they don't have anything.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The rust should after you ride and apply the brakes a few times..

James, where is the rust? On the face of the rotors or the drilled and stamped holes

If it is the face of the rotors , Bob is right. Ride it and apply the front brakes a few times, this should clean the faces

That part is shiny, it in the vent holes & surface I'm trying to remove.

That is going to be a lot of work

If you have plenty of time keep using the Rustoleum or try, will require lots of rinsing

Like jack said......Stick with the Rust-Oleum..... And you'll do all right....

Yep.With the..>>....A-lot of rinsing .....I have an old jar of Naval Jelly, And i used it on an old axe head i found at an 100 plus year old farm foundation ....And if you don't rinse and brush it well it will leave a white slag on iron...I had to use a wire brush to remove the slag...

Something you might not want to do on a rotor..And don't let it get on paint, Chrome or Aluminum or stainless steel......

Metallic/ semi metallic brake pads can enbed particles into the rotor. This is what you see rusting. Hell I have a new Toyota Corolla and the rotors rust just by sitting a few days. Run the trike hit the brakes no more rust. Until it sits a few days. When it comes time to change the pads there are plenty of options out there.
