Default rotor rust

i noticed that my rotors are yellowish brown.. looks like rust..

is it because i let my car sit in the garage after i wash it? will the rust go away as i use the car more... applying the brakes?

or can i get it off using some kind of solution or something

thanks

Yeah, its just oxidized from you getting water on it after you washed it. Be careful with wet rotors, make sure you are in a big space and can stop when they are wet. I almost slid right onto the highway after I washed my car because my rotors were wet (My driveway leads onto a major highway).

Just drive back and fourth a coupple of times and the rust will burn off.
