Crazy dumb. I use a product called Lost Rotor Brake Polish. The instructions are pretty simple. "After washing car, drive. Get out and notice shiny rotors". Stuff works great and only $6.95 @ Pep boys or Wal*Mart.

"Blankets your brake rotors in a protective film"

That does not sound good.

I think the m350 wheels are pros at slinging the rust drip as well. I keep finding rust slings on the side of the car where the old PPs didnt. Mud Flaps are becoming a must.

Time to trade 'er in.

my favorite product to apply to get rid of rotor rust is the brake pedal. It's easy to use, cheap, and super effective.

It's only been out like 10 years, reviewed and used by multiple pros....

But if you know something they don't, by all means do share! Also would love to hear an explanation of how this is "crazy dumb". I'm interested! I may also be one of the detailers who uses this, but hey I'm always testing new product looking for something better.

Patrick is there any lasting protection for the hubs from this or is it strictly after wash? I plan on painting my hubs when I do the calipers anyway cause that little bit of rust is stressing me out

Yeah you need to paint them.

You need to remove, scuff/prep, mask, and paint with high-temp paint. That or get some two-piece rotors and never have to see it again.
