Default Weathering. The trial and error way.

Just recently I've been getting back into modeling and wanted to learn how to weather stuff, using concoctions of general household cleaners here's my first attempt and making a CD look like it's rusted for a few years.
Not that CD are thick metal but you get the idea.

That's the general idea behind this, rather than having a scaler looking a bit rusty I want it to look like it's been abandoned and rotted away for the past 20 years.

Nice. . . That polycarbonite CD looks like a weathered brake disk. Do tell us about the technique.
