after soaking in vinegar . simply wash off in water and spray with some wd40 to protect the discs and should be rust free for longer . nice video cheers
I live in Canada. Can you make one where you dip the entire car?
Michael Bernardo LoL! I don’t doubt the rust is nuts there.
soak in lake ontario
Dying laughing!
Save your money for more than one gallon vinegar, problem solved
Lol 😂
You have to neutralize the vinegar asap. Baking soda and water will do this. Just dip it in a mix of water and baking soda for a few seconds. Then dry it off and oil them up.
Even if you are using the rotors immediately after the vinegar bath, you have to neutralize the vinegar BEFORE use. If you don't, the acid in the vinegar will eventually cause pitting in the rotor...
Acetic acid doesn't react with steel, just rust., and in use would be scrubbed away removed within one driving/heating cycle, just as the flash rust would have been.
@Yasir Saleem lol true
I was thinking about the process not being completed in the video.
What to do before painting.
I'm with you, Tom. That was the advice given on some other videos using vinegar to derust brake rotors. And I just Googled "does acetic acid react with steel" and it certainly does. So neutralize that vinegar bath before putting on a finishing coat of oil or paint.
What kind of oil do you recommend putting after doing this treatment ? Asking because I won’t put them on until calipers come in
I noticed a lot of rust on a car that's sitting at a dealership. I'm definitely doing this instead of buying new rotors!
Ok, this is quite impressive. This is going to save me between $300-400. I was just going to buy new parts, I'm not going to anymore. Thank you!
Around of applause for this gentleman..👏🏿
Well thank you!
I just recently got a Honda Pilot and the rotors and calipers have some rust and it looks awful, can’t wait to try this out, I’ll let ya know how it goes.
This also works good on cast iron BBQ grill grates.
This works. I have soaked many rusted stuff in vinegar and it will loosen the rust in a few hours. Leave it for a day and the rust would be so loose a quick jet of water will tear them off.
citric acid works better
Lexicon Devil Yeah, but you can't get it at the grocery store.
Yes. You can. If you open your fucking eyes. It's a common food additive like bicarb soda and sugar.
Lexicon Devil I've never seen it. But will keep an eye out.
Not in my country!
Thank you just did a whole set today!!! Coming out great!
Joseph Neely it really worked??
Bath it in baking soda to neutralize the Vinegar acid , rinse with water and spray it with
WD-40, plastic wrap it until ready to be plate it,or it will Rust again
what if I just use it right after? without wrapping it. that ok?
With in a week it will rust again,,however I recommend to buy Rotors that already come Zinc plated ( they are rust resistance )
stealhty1 wouldn't WD-40 make the brake pads slip?
It prevents the rust from returning until its ready for use. Clean with brake cleaner when it's time to use them.
WD 40- will make the brakes slippery and will not brake properly. EVEN I know that!!!!!
thank you man never knew that smelly liquid could work such magic !
😄
@@mechanized331 if I do this on my rotors , will the rust come back ? If yes in approximately how long ? And Is there some special spray to protect them from getting rusty again ?!? I also live in Canada and man the winters are terrible
@@aimized1460 I bet the winters are brutal! Yes if the brakes are not used they will rust again. You can neutralize the vinegar with a water/baking soda mixture by letting the metal soak in that for about 10 minutes after the vinegar bath, That’ll slow rerusting down. After the part is dry you can use black high temp bbq paint just on the edges and at the lug area of the disc for extra protection. Tape off the friction surface before painting. This technique works well. Hope that helps.
@@mechanized331 thank you brother means a lot, stay safe out there
brb going to walmart to get some vinegar... thanks bud!
Wow what a great voice! He sounds like that homeless guy who spoke like he was a radio DJ, give this guy a voiceover job people!! Maybe Darth Vader after JEJ passes on
Handy if you don't have a sand/media blaster.
The rotors on my car were warped to hell and I didn't want to drop $70 per rotor since I'm gonna do a 5 lug conversion at some point soon. I grabbed a rusty, but solid and straight pair of rotors from my salvage yard for like $20. Soaked them in vinegar for two days and they came out like brand new. I ended up painting the hats (inside and out) and the edges and threw them on. They've been holding up fine and my steering wheel shudder is gone.
As far as doing disposal of the rusty solution: I'm sure it's safe to dump it anywhere. It's just iron and vinegar. Iron is already readily found in everything, including our poop and blood.
Vinegar is ok. I prefer Evaporust. It's relatively cheap....about $20 from a local Tractor Supply for a gallon (much more $ online). It's reusable...I filter and reuse it several times over. Non-toxic in the sense that I can stick my hands in it as I would with vinegar with no harmful effects......yet. ;-) And I like the oxide-like dark film finish....great as a base for primer and paint for parts that I intend to paint. Anyway, I recommend trying both so you can compare the outcomes.
Average Joe Yes, that’s good stuff as well!
Can i just spray the vinegar while rotors are in place in parked vehicle
BVB BVB you could try but you'd have to keep the rotors wet with the vinegar.
It won't be effective enough on it's own! But you can improve the effect by soaking paper towels in vinegar and apply them in place. It will help keep the moisture for longer.
In all honesty it doesn't work properly and it sucks! LOL 😂
Way better and easier to remove and dip it in the vinegar bath! Will save you a lot of hassle. ;-)
do you not have to rinse with water after to neutralize the process
This really worked for me!! Thanks
It may have solved the rust the first time round, but do you think the effects of the vinegar actually made it more susceptible for rust in future? Since it's rusty again.
good question
Oxidation of the clean and unprotected surface will always happen. The only way to minimize this effect is by treating the surface. Galvanizing, painting, oil bath, etc. are some of the possibilities.
Now answering directly to your question. It won't rust more, because it was cleaned with vinegar.
It wasn't mentioned on the video but its wise to wash the part afterwards with soap & water. Appropriate treatment should be applied right away. To minimized surface exposure and respective rust development. By appropriate I mean, not use oil bath treatment on a brake disc, for example! On the other hand it's perfect for some old pliers or screw drivers to have on your tool box.
Common sense should be used sparingly! LOL 😂
Personally I've had excellent and durable results with "Hammerite" paint on brake drums. Lasted a really long time!
brakes work with friction. the friction between the brake pads and the steel rotor. if you use the brakes regularly rust will always be cleaned off by the friction process. If you let your vehicle sit then naturally rust will build up.
.... use it or lose it.
@@SamuelLanghorn use it to lose it. 😀
You have to wash it in distilled water or it'll go even worse within 24 hours
If the rotors were super-rusty, the surfaces would be heavily pitted, not smooth when the rust was removed, and likely wouldn't be within spec after refacing. If you want to show the effectiveness, compare the internal vents before and after.
I was gonna buy new disc by why not js do this save money and use it on another part great job thanks for the clue
thanks, man you earned 1 subscriber and 1 like
Adding salt to the vinegar mix will make it work even better. A cup of salt per gallon
i have an old sportster harley with a rusted frob rotor. gonna try this
Wonder if you can just spray it on your rotors while its still connected to your car.
That's a good question... I was thinking the same too, I don't want to take the rotors out
I woud try it and let it sits for maybe an 1hr and see how it looks. Great question
Same!!! I’m gonna just buy some and tip in a Spray bottle leaving it for an hour but respraying ever 10 mins
How do you prevent it from flash rusting?
Wash the part, preferably with soap and (running) water. To clean the surface and neutralize the acid. Immediately followed by the surface treatment of your choice. Paint including zinc spray, galvanizing and other plating methods, oil bath... are some of the options.
Steel? I don't have much experience with Lincoln or Ford. But most cars use cast iron.
That is true, I believe these are actually.
Strong voice
Thank you Sir!
Thanks for video. Wonderful!
Damn! This is awesome!
Would it work if I spray vinegar on brake calipers. They are not really bad they only have rust at a very small area
How come I got more rust after rust removal with white vinegar lol. The rotor is completely orange now
Just get metAl polisher
Good job 👏
Can you tell me what flash rust means I actually just put new rotors on my wife Car 2 weeks ago and they already look Rusty. I'm so confused
THANKS BROTHER ✌️
fuck i just spent 800 bucks on 4 new brakes because of rust. that would save me alot of money
Great video ... will have to try
White vinegar wow.
Noice! Can't wait to tried it!
If the brake pads themselves are rusted as well can you toss the pads in it too??🤔
Missed this! Yes I don’t see why you couldn’t.
Great Video !!! Thank You
Could I potentially put white vinegar in a bottle and pierce a hole in the lid and squirt the vinegar onto the disc without dissembling the wheel and taking the disc out?
No you have to remove the rotors its not that hard
Going a little off topic here. I have 11.8 inch rotors that have rust more on one than on the other cause one was taken out of the plastic to discover it didn't fit my 2003 Accord. Anyways, anyone know what vehicles these 11.8 inch rotors will fit when cleaned? TIA.
There is a better and faster was. Get an offset grinder with a wire wheel and you can get the rust off in a few minutes. I have tried vinegar, electrolysis, chemical rust remover, etc. An offset grinder with a wire wheel works better and faster.
Not when it comes to tight crevices and other difficult to reach areas, such as holes and slots on the rotors.
GiBLETS : Yep, don't want any high and low spots.
High and low spots makes the surface uneven.
It would require a hell of a lot more heat/friction than brakes apply themselves in order for that to happen, unless you have crappy rotors.
How long did you soak them when you first got them
rivercap1986 First time was over a couple hours, the rust dissolves very quickly!
Mmm my question is I have a car that I got running and driving an gonna do the brakes next now and the rotors are rusty like in this video and I thought driven and getting them hot would knock that off butt nope . The rotors are perfect except for that so I'm about to put new brake hoses and pads on but I need to get the rust off but I don't want to have the rotors turned to do that.
Soo wondering if I did this trick and then sprayed them off with brake cleaner after and then put them back on the car and put everything together would it be alright and hsve u dome this ?
Don’t ever clean or do anything with your brakes or hoses or pads or calipers when they’re hot from driving. Let them cool off either just over night or during the day.
nice
Can you use the Vinegar for 2 wheels
Aren't you supposed to put salt also
doesnt the rust just come back in a few days or weeks?
If not in use typically you’ll see flash rust on the surfaces in moist climates in a few days but I emphasize “Flash Rust”, is removed after a drive. The rust on these had been on there for some time and you wouldn’t see this at all in common normal use.
I was gonna give this a thumbs up but he kept on scratching the rotor with his nails ugh! but nice tips
LoL! Chalk board style!
:'(
can you do it with your tires still on???
Yeah a woman friendly way !
H. DeBeau don’t try that please it will not work at all yes you need to remove your tires and you also cannot reach the rotors with the tires on just putting vinegar on the rotors will not do anything they need to soak
Hey y'all! I got a Dodge charger and I wonder if i could use the same method?
What happens if you hit it with some brake cleaner? Would it be a chemical reaction??
Brake cleaner won’t remove the rust unfortunately.
good video thanks for the help
Will it do any damage later on when drive
Devin Williams Absolutely not!
No
Can this work without removing the tires? Just spraying the vinigar on it every few minutes?
That's what I just did and will see if it works. Even if it helps a little I'm fine with it.
@@Ismael916did it work?
Of use black harpic. It's quicker
Tomato ketchup works too :)
Whaat
@@youngrios youtube it.. 😎
Rust will come back
If I used this method on other car parts and then painted them, would that prevent the rust coming back?
Jonathan Stock Yes it would! I would throughly clean the parts first to get the vinegar off, then paint.
How strong (%) is the vinegard?
Vinegar is just diluted acetic acid, usually ~5%.
cool rotors
Nice but can you reuse the vinegar for another rotor? If you had a super rusty rotor, did the bath overnight, could you reuse the same vinegar for another go?
Yes you can!
I heard the rust comes back and worse, because of the acidity of the vinegar? That's true is there an easy way to neutralise the rotar afterwords so it doesn't just rust again in a day?
I've found that if you rinse the parts off really well in a bath of baking soda and regular tap water a couple of times, the baking soda will neutralize the vinegar. completely dry the part off and spray a little WD40 on it and it should be good until you paint, clear coat, or whatever finish you apply.
+xXDeath BearXx once clean of with water use oil on the part to prevent rust from coming back it would protect them
@@christopherbrown2224 Yeah... but you can't use oil on a brake rotor!
That’s why do not drink white vinegar 🤢
Definitely haha!
This is misleading. There is hardly any rust on these. Show the treatment when the disc was really rusty please. The water pump bolt is hardly any different. The best way is to use a rotary NYLON abrasive wheel.
Tons of rust, the lead pic shows you how these looked, fresh from the junkyard. The pump bolt was pitted it was so rusted as well. Get the rustiest thing you can find and try it yourself, it’ll surprise you.
or you could just drive and let the pads do that for u..........
Sure you could. This to demonstrate white vinegar rust removal, the brakes were just the example.
What's flash rusted? Won't it last after the vinegar?
Audun Jemtland hey! Flash rust is where you'll get a light coating of rust if uncoated steel has any residual moisture on it or have a high moisture content in the air. You can clean it off but paint or other anti corrosive coating will prevent that from happening.
Nice! Thanks. This is 5% vinegar right? We only have 35% small bottles in the stores here. Wondering If I should dilute with water. Or if it lose it's effect. Some people mention salt acid.
stop saying boiled :P lol. good vid
Is that rotor safe to use?
Humberto Madrigal Yes!
What if it's been sitting for 7 years?
Humberto Madrigal Your best bet is to have the rotor mic'd and checked out.
How do I safely dispose the vinegar with all the rust?
Pour it in your neighbors flower pots
Anything as long as you don’t drink
Thank God I live in Detroit and just toss it in the street
How can this work effectively? You clean the exterior, but what about the rust internally that needs to wiped like you did the exterior? You will always have rust return every time water hits it.... whats the solution for that?
All surfaces, including those he treated, will rust again over time. This is a rust removal technique, not one for rust prevention. Rubbing a light film of oil on the surface of metal parts is one way to prevent rust from returning. For rotors, the oil trick isn't going to work obviously. You can prime and paint the surfaces that will not come into contact with the pads, but leave the contact areas untreated. Where the pads come into contact with the rotor will only rust again if your vehicle sits unused for lengthy periods of time....generally weeks or longer. Heat and friction from the pads is what keeps those surfaces mostly free of rust. Depends on the climate where you live....dry climates like southern AZ aren't going to rust parts like the humid climates of New England.
You should be able to drive your car to a car vinegar pool
Sounds racial to me. White vinegar?
^this xD
Black vinegar is faster stronger and has a bigger longer thicker rod. So white is fine.
Use brown vinegar😁
@@powlandersunn6052 yoooo💀💀💀
Lol why not use C.L.R then
Sha Money Or MC-51, There's several ways, I have found this to be the most effective.
is there any specific kind of vinegar you use or any vinegar will work? thanks
White vinegar
would this work with the calipers
Definitely!
@@mechanized331 great thanks for the useful video mate 👍
@@mechanized331 will the vinegar eat away at the rubber seals on the caliper
@@HookedToGaming No, it will not, you’ll be good. What car are you working on?
@@mechanized331 ok great to hear, working on my lexus is200 here in England but ill probably use this on mine and my dads f100
Will p&s brake buster do same thing?
Before you start knocking yourself out removing the rotors just get somewhere safe where you can get up 30 or 40 mph and hit brakes hard several times you should see a noticeable difference. Hey if it works your rotors wasn't bad enough for drastic measures.
I don't understand this experiment. The rotor looked better before going to vinegar. It didn't help the screw a bit.
That looks more like the oil they come in from the factory not rust lol gawd
Oh it was rust I assure you.
hehe
this will rust as bitch afterwards....
What can be done to prevent it from flash rusting again over night?
SweetLowFat Jesus i need to know this too
That's not rust your wiping off, it's grease.
Mitt Obama uh ok
BS i tryed it and it did not remove any rust at tall.
Just wire wheel them. Less time, mess, or stink
Andreas D You could, doesn’t get everything, but this is a demonstration of an alternative method.
This ruined my rotors. Do not use this method
Joe Gerardi yup right, made my helicopter think it was a moped,
how?
How
What do you mean, "ruined"? How does chemically removing surface rust with vinegar do that? Pulleze!
Use meta polisher after vinegar wipe down. Worked well for me.
about how long after does it become rusted again ?
Bryan Mena Not long.
Once rust is off. Its gone. You are referring to distortion in metal which happens when any metal is conditioned to react. U must immediately heat up the metal with a blow dryer and or pour ice on it to re condition the metal. Only other way is to have the rotor continuously move. Its the same as any form of matter being in a set condition over time it adapts. Reacts. Stop the reaction with precipitated conditioning. This is now physics. Steps above chemistry
