Default orange spots on brake rotors

does anyone know what this means? i drove my car extensively the past week through the rain and what not... maybe this could be the culprit? my cars been going through some **** lately- but i am not complaining and no- i am NOT looking to put it up in the classifieds section.

my question is: my brakes are making weird noises when i brake- like akward squeeking noises, but not high pitched. there are LOTS of orange dots/spots on the rotors on all 4 brakes. does anyone know what this means? any response would be great. thanks.

[someone also stole my borla exhaust tips off my car that i just bought off of drewgs4]

orange spots are rust....perfectly normal


squeaking is also normal for aftermarket rotors and/or pads


Mine do it, if it's any concilation...just turn up the radio and keep windows closed with ventilation on

Sounds like rust to me too. Does the squeaking go away after a few stops?

yup sounds like very normal rust on the rotors after rain and stuff. brake hard for 2 to 3 times, the squeak should go away
