Brake Dust

[Dave D]

Detailed my 2004 Corvette Z06 for the first time yesterday.Washed,clayed and NXT and it turned out super.Since it doesn't get driven much I was hesitant about using the all wheel cleaner and hosing them down for fear of rusting the rotors over prolonged non use.I covered the wheels with plastic bags then wiped them down by hand using micro fiber towels and then put a coat of NXT on them.They turned out great but was very tedious and time consuming.The next time I was thinking about using a wheel cleaner hosing them down then try to dry the wheels and rotors off with my gas powered leaf blower.
Does this sound sensible?Would appreciate any other suggestions.

I always use a air compressor to dry my wheels, wheel wells, grooves in tires ect. sounds like a good plan, even if it just aids the drying process. some rotors seem to rust no matter what. probly the difference in what they're made of.

Wash them normally and let them dry & rust. Then, just move the car a few feet and apply the brakes to scrape off the surface rust on the rotors.

I've noticed that brake rotors rust after get wet during washiong, but do not rust if the car is left standing for weeks.
