Rear Rotor park stays looking new , Front lookes aged
2021 AMG C63 Coupe collected Feb 2021
My Rear rotors remain silver , like new !
the Front looks aged [only 2K miles] , my car is garaged .
Could this be from the heat generated while driving as the rears dont dont take a beating ?
see pic attached , is this ... normal for the front rotor.
Note I am speaking of the the part the connects the RIM
Rear
Front
You can see they looked aged, even after wash and blow dried.
When i collected the car they looked like the rears
Heat treated (burned on / baked) brake dust is what that looks like -- are you using a specific wheel and brake cleaner (like Chemical Guys or similar) -- I have good results with it - both my rotors look identical in color and I drive it pretty hard.
When i do wash the car I will use a iron cleaner then spray wash with soap.
How can i get the Brake hat to look silver again.
Just odd it looks aged so fast.
There's many, many YouTube videos and posts on the great internet showing countless products designed for brake dust and wheels, do some research because what I use you might not like! - Google it up!
Got it, was wondering if there was something I can spray on the hat that's easily acquired
I'm searching the web as well , also placed a call to my SA.

Not trying to be rude - I just don't want to go recommending something and you have a bad experience or something. Like I said above, I use Chemical Guys wheel cleaner - you can see / buy their products on Amazon
I had the same situation but the rust was on the rear rotor hats. I had 6,000 miles on my new 2019 C63s coupe. Perplexed with what to do I went into MB Dealership. I needed to speak with the Service Manager. I informed him the car is always in a heated garaged. He felt the rust may effect the breaking safety. He authorized rear rotors replaced under warrenty. In 2 hours I was on my way with new rear rotors. Happy for sure. Maybe winter road salt contributed to it but not sure.
I would suggest speaking with Service Manager to get it covered under warrenty. Your car is practically new. Obviously that would be the way to go than looking for some rust remover as I had done before just going into the Dealership.
I know rear rotors are alot cheaper than the front rotors something to consider to get it covered under warrenty.
Found a solution , called elbow grease and distilled villager
1. I was improperly cleaning my Front Rims , all of which take more of a beating than the Rears
A. Error spraying Iron remover then simply rinsing with washer.
@ My next was I will use my Tire cleaning kit and actually scrub the front Rotor hats
Problem ! front rotor hats have baked on Brake dust , just simple hosing down wasn't the track
lastly I have 3 products arriving for removing brake dust and cleaning the tires.
I think I have learned a bit from this rant.
