If you want to clean off rust, go driving and use the brakes.

you can get a brake place to do them for 8-10 each if you pay with cash.

did you think that resurfacing meant "replacing the metal on the rotors with some other tyoe of metal."?

buy some nice aftermarket rotors liek brembo's and stuff are cheap on some sites and the only way to keep that rust off the spots the brake pads dont touch is to buy nicer rotors liek those that are treated so that untouched areas dont rust and they will look nice and shiny all yr round

I would use naval jelly and a toothbrush to get to clean metal.
I would get a "paint stripper" plastic brush for my drill and buff the daylights out of them. I would CAREFULLY put the car in gear with one side jacked up,
and use sandpaper to polish the cleaned metal; keeping my fingers out of
the wrong places.-Bob
