Default Rust on Rotors

I have a friend that will be displaying some cars in a humid area for a couple of weeks. Is anyone aware of anything besides WD40 that could be sprayed on the rotors to prevent them from rusting?

Won't WD40 mess up your brake pads or interfere with your braking. I would never think to spray anything on my rotors. Obviously they clean up as soon as you driver.

I do have a ton of pictures where I washed my car and then took some great pictures only to realize they are ruined because my brake rotors are all rusty. It would be nice to be able to spray something on them before I wash my car if I know I want to take pics.

Leaf blower after car wash. Then use Armor All Wheel Protectant.

Just drive it for a few minutes after a wash and apply the brake a few times. The brakes will feel funny the first couple of times then go to normal and no rust.

Good god, don't spray oil on the rotors!!!!!!

Just drive and apply the brakes a few times and the oxidization will vanish.. Then wipe it down with a microfiber towel.
