After one good brakeing, clean as a whistle. I think this has a lot to do with the squealing people hear when they first back up after the car's been sitting.

I put a few coats of high-heat paint on the rotors when I did my calipers...no rust, looks awesome!!

The rust is no big deal; whenever I wash my car the discs get a little rusty; the first time the brakes get applied after that, the discs get cleaned off.

That's a fact, untreated exposed metal will rust.
