Hey guys not sure if this is something to worry about, but whenever i get my car washed or it rains. My rotors look rusted.

Is this something to worry about or does everyone notice this??

it happens all the time, and it goes away after i drive it for a few minutes.

No squealing, so i thought it was nothing.

13K miles....

Thanks guys...

This is nothing to worry about. Rust usually appear on your rotors due to water, and your brake will also take the rust of.

Tapping the breaks won't take it off. You have to drive a lil' bit, press down on the brakes, and roll (to a stop, if you want). That way you'll take off all the rust. It's perfectly normal to have rusted rotors. Go to the dealership. Half the cars have rusted rotors simply because it rained a while ago and they never moved the car around.
