that's going to happen with stock rotors. the best thing to do is replace them with a slotted rotor...from Powerstop or KVR or something. they have them coated so they don't rust!

all rotors will rust eventually, I just washed my car today and about 25 minutes after i had finished the rotors alreally had a small coating of surface rust on them, Its normal. Just drive to the end of the block and stop once and the rust will be gone.

yes. do NOT waste time worrying about the appearance of a purely functional part of your car. brake rotors are steel, steel rusts, such is life.

and as a note, powerslot and kvr rotors are a waste of money if all you are looking for is a cosmetic upgrade for brake rotors. been there, done that. stick with stock rotors.
