Thumbs down Show car rust

On spring break I went with my family to Disney. We rode the GM test track ride and when you get off they have cars on display. So I was checkin out the Corvette and noticed the rotors were rusty. I couldnt believe they would leave rust on a car they display especially a Corvette

Just thought I would share

they just washed it prolly and i notice some of that rim cleaner has a tendency to create rust on the discs all you need to do is drive it for a bit and do some braking, heavy or not and itll dissappear

Yea after some braking it will go away. My car was the same when I first looked it at in the dealer lot.

You can only get it off from driving the car. Rust usually accumulates from rain or washing the car.
