Disc brakes-storage issue?

[TerryB]

I notice that the disc brake surface rusts a little bit if I don't drive the Boxster for a week or 2. That isn't a problem because it comes right off after applying the brakes a few times.
But what about during storage? I'm getting ready to put her to sleep for about 5 months. Will it rust excessively during that time? Should I apply a lubricant of some kind? Or nothing to worry about?

In my experience, as long as you put the car in storage in a dry condition and it is reasonably dry where you store it, no issue.

If you are storing outside and it is moist, the rust will fly.

I assume you could coat the disc with a light oil and keep them from rusting but I have never done so.

Good luck.

I will be storing it in an unheated garage with a breathable cover. I'll also be doing other things mentioned in other strings: change oil, fill gas tank, trickle charger, increase inflation of tires, silica gel in interior, plastic sheet under car etc. etc.

I just haven't read anything about the brakes.

TerryB, your brakes will be fine. Just do the stuff you have listed below. Just think...cars sit outside at dealers for months...and the brakes are fine.

Are you going to slightly move the wheels a 1/4 turn each month to prevent any flat spotting, as suggested in the owners manual?

[TerryB]

Yes....moving the car is planned...thanks

I think it is a bad idea to put any sort of lubricant on the rotors as the metal may soak up some of the oil and lessen brake peformance even after it is washed off.
