You can get rid of the surface rust on the brake rotors? They don't need to be replaced?
Like the submitter here, I just transferred a car by rail. Took it to Canadian Tire this morning for the out-of-province inspection, and it passed, but the guy pointed out the marks on all the brake rotors, which I figure happened while in transit. He said it wasn't a concern, but to keep an eye on it. Of course, it's annoying as heck when applying the brakes and hearing the sound.
Should I just take the car out and about tonight and do some hard braking?
