which product do you guys recommend to clean the stock rotors? The inner wheel housing and top of the rotor are a little rusty and I want to try polishing them up before I paint my calipers. I'd rather clean the existing oem rotors for now instead of buying aftermarket. Any advice?

Yeah, steel wool or a steel brush should get the rust off. Then just sand it down.

Steel wool works great just make sure you wet the steel wool first.
