Default Rusty rotors

I leave my ES350 in my driveway over the winter while we are in Florida. Last year I had to have all my brake rotors replaced because of rust. Does anyone know how I can stop this happening this year?

Rotors are cast iron, and rust naturally. In normal driving, at least once a week, the rust produced is not an issue because the pads quickly scraps them off. Look Here:

I don't think this is what you want to hear.

^^^^It most certainly is not. Did you not read the the Fourth sentence under the pict?

"This is currently is the best solution that we know of to prevent rust from happening to the rotors during your washing and detailing. This is not a permanent solution, the rotors will rust after you drive in the rain or they get wet."

This product is temporary only and IMO answers a question that was never asked.
