Weird colours on the brake rotor
Today when I got out of my GLK, I noticed something VERY off with my rims. My rims were SO full of brake dust so I decided to investigate even more. As I got closer and closer, I noticed a yellow colour that is very prevalent on the brake rotor. This is on ALL the brake rotors.
Heres some pictures :

Anyone have any clue as to what this is? I was thinking it might have been something I ran over, but I'm usually very persistent when it comes to dodging things like that / pot holes.

Don't wory about it it's just a little bit of rust! The brake rotors are made of steel and in contact with water they do rust a little bit but it cames back to normal whem you drive and use the breaks a couple of times. You'll notice that when it;s sunny outside and there's no water contact the brake rotors have a pollished silver look.
