    BTW, The dash and other parts inside can be cleaned with a micro-fibre rag and water and a regular household detergent. The detergent dissolves grease and by doing so, also dissolves covid and other viruses as well as getting everything clean.
    A detergent does not kill bacteria, viruses and fungi. A disinfectant will.

    & the instructions on my jug of Lysol Wipes states "to disinfect, allow the surface to remain wet for 4 minuets"
    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything

    Personally, I'd take it back and ask for a new one or trade it in on something that has less rust on the brakes.

    I'm not exaggerating when I say this: When I worked at / for Hyundai-Kia, the turds built at HMMNA & KMMGA would have more rust on their brakes / rotors, etc BEFORE THEY LEFT THE HYUNDAI-KIA FTZ than your car is showing. There were some mitigating circumstances (i.e. - the newly built vehicles sat inside the FTZ for far too long, sometimes out in fields on dirt), but it is the truth.

    Course we also had field mice problems, spiders in the tank fill inlet, and there was an instance or two of some hobos / homeless getting inside the FTZ somehow and living in the cars.

    I'll have to admit that I would be pissed if my $50K F-150 looked like that 2 weeks after I brought it home.

    Me too. My 22 year old Dodge doesn't look like that even now.
