Brake Drums/Rotors “Rust” removal

“What is one of the best ways to remove “rust” from the Brake Drums/Rotors?

Apparently, metal brushes nor any of the other products I've purchased are fit enough to do so (according to a fellow friend!)

Drill with some wire wheels should do it. And lots of patience. Keep the brushes off the rotor surface though.

And if that should fail try Coca Cola and aluminum foil as a scrubber. All the phosphoric acid in it helps to eat away the rust. Wash well after.

Air powered die grinder with 24 grit Roloc sanding discs will tear up some rust in a hurry.
