Has anyone run into the same problem
It's just a fact of life with any disc brakes..
Even if you use cleaners and formulas (personally I'd be too scared to ever put anything on them to clean or prevent oxidization of the steel)
And even if you clean them safely, first puddle you drive through is going to bring it back..

Thanx guys & I do drive the car to get rid of it. I will try using the Rust Remover Gel.
Exactly, you have to clean it twice & thats why it's annoying .. however I should try to fix the rattles inside the car than focusing on this :roll eyes:
But therein lies the problem! It most definitely comes off over the course of the next day or two, and then you spend a hour or so re-cleaning the rust residue off the inner portion of the wheels.
I was so frustrated that I tried to figure out a way to keep the rotors dry during a wash. Got some magnetic vinyl sheeting and cut them to roughly the size and shape of the rotors. Actually worked fairly well in keeping the rotors dry, but over time they became a mess from all the brake dust. Honestly, if someone could come up with a product that would address this issue I think he could make a tidy sum.

You really don't want to do anything that will compromise your car's ability to stop unless you are only displaying the car in a museum or your living room. In my most humble opinion this is a really bad idea and may be unsafe for you, your passenger and some poor b@stard who is stopped at a red light as you approach.
I would contact PCNA and request a call back from an engineer as well as from Griots.

This is going to happen all the time even if the car sits outside you will get some rust on the rotors. Like most stated once you drive they will come off.
If this really bothers you and you're ocd this will be a good quick temporary fix (we use this in the shop it's great for cars that we are delivering.)
We do have a product that we sell that will temporarily get rid of rusty rotors after a wash. however if it gets wet the rust will come back (due to the rain or another wash)

As I was reading through this thread I was going to post this too, Phil.
I haven't used it myself, but it sounds like exactly what the OP is looking for.
Hyde's works pretty well. I've heard of the Meguiar's version staining wheels. What I do is right after a wash, I spray Hyde's directly on the rotor (sparingly). The bottle recommends that you don't let excess sit. I immediatly blow off the wheels and rotors with my Stihl blower. You'll still get a bit of oxidation, but it won't dump rusty water all of your wheels while the car dries.
Actually I have been using this https://detailersdomain.com/Sonax-Fu...0ml_p_324.html but it only takes off 50% of the dirt .. so I'll give the Hyde's Serum Rustopper a try.
After I wash and dry my car, I apply the tire dressing and let it soak in while I vacuum and clean the interior. Then I go for a drive around the block, use the brakes a few times (or even drive with the brakes on for a short distance ~1/8 mile) to get the light rust coating off the brake discs, and get rid of any water drips that are hiding in crevices. When I get home my last step is to touch up any water streaks, any tire dressing that slings onto the fenders, and finally the rims. I like to use Meguiars Quik Detailer or Griots Speed Shine with a microfiber cloth on the paintwork first (while the microfiber is clean) and then move down to the rims to remove the "rust dust" and any tire dressing that got on the rims. I've noticed this last step of touching up the rims not only makes them look nicer, but it leaves the surface really smooth and clean, and seems to help keep the brake dust from building up as quickly between washes.
Hope this helps!
