Default rusty rotors!

i washed my s2k a few days ago, and today, i looked at my rotors and they were very rusty! what do i use to clean my rotors? i used APC (all purpose cleaner) on the rims when i washed my car a few days ago, and honestly, i'm not sure if the rotors were rusty back then or not. i just realized they were rusty today...

You can get the rust off really easy by driving around the block and braking a few times. You won't be able to get it off the edges of the rotors though without more work involved.

this is a serious design flaw, but nothing too serious.

Why do you call a flaw?... Almost even car on the market does that same things unless the car is high end then it begins to drop off a little but for the most part, most cars do this. The S2K rotors work very well in their stock form.

On another note you can upgrade to CAD plated rotors which will stop most of the rotor from rusting, expect the face. that section will almost always have a little rust.
