Re: Rust on Brakes - 3 Week Old Car

Thanks mate. We live in Brighton but we are quite far from the sea! Are you thinking that a clean with a jet wash & more use won't get rid? And that I should be quite firm with the dealers? Thanks in advance! I'm going with this reply from Dave, that looks very excessive corrosion. The car may h...
