You know what I meant Jim, the "non contact" areas then, better?

New Pagid discs now come completely painted. The pads wear the paint off the friction surface as they bed in

IIRC I put a set of four on Big Red so it'll be interesting to see how they are doing six months on

They look spot on mate.
I keep my wheels spotless too, often give the, a coat of polymer sealant too. after 15 months i dont have any rust showing on the discs either so they still look good. I don’t use acid cleaners though, they are the worst for rusting everything
Cheers

Cheers Glynn

What polymer sealant do you use, I'm always looking for ways to improve?
