Rusty Hub

teamadobo · 03-05-2011, 03:30 PM

My car is 1 year old and I am seeing rust on the brake hubs. I realize this is normal but what do you guys do with it? I was planning to clean it up when the weather is warmer and maybe paint the calipers.

I had major rust on my hubs...i went to Simply Tire and for $60 they made them look like brand new!! www.simplytire.com

when i take the wheels off i usually give the hub a quick sand down and then a small blast of flat black paint...it comes back...fact of life

Thanks. I just ordered POR15.

Will clean this up in the springtime. I just find it unusual as I never have rusted hubs on my VW.
