Detailing and brakes...but how or is there a good porduct that can keep the rust color from taking over your drums? I'm using eagle one A-z and it does a good job but not taking the rust color (its not rust just dark orange brake dust and stuff) the drums or hubs

Brake dust isnt something that you can just make not happen... you can keep cleaning it off but it will pretty much allways come back, it is created by using the brakes afterall.

the only way to keep the rust off, like everyone else said, is to paint it. you gotta clean it really well first though. the drums are just bare metal, thats why they rust so easily. With the rotors, the only thing you can do is drive your car.
