Cleaned up a set of 4th gen rotors :)

I got these from jeffy and they were spray painted red or should I say pink and had a lot of surface rust. My first time doing this kind of thing, let me know what you think!

use some naval jelly to remove some more of the rust in the grooves...it works really well...then paint the edges to prevent it from returning...good luck

What did you use? Just sandpaper/sander? Wizza, with naval jelly, do you do anything...rub, etc. Or do you let it sit on the rotor for a certain amount of time b4 you take of.
I'll be taking rust off the part of the rotor that covers the hub in a few weeks and want to know the easiest way.
